Details of the ISHIKAWA Environment

Syntax

There are only three options that can be specified in the PROC ISHIKAWA statement, since the ISHIKAWA procedure is primarily a user-driven procedure.

DATA=SAS-data-set
identifies the name of a SAS data set that specifies an existing Ishikawa diagram. By default, the procedure will prompt you to edit an existing Ishikawa diagram or start a new one. When you specify the DATA= option, the procedure bypasses this initial menu. For example, the following statements simplify editing an existing Ishikawa diagram saved in a SAS data set:
   proc ishikawa data=work.airline;
      run;


NEW
starts a new Ishikawa diagram. By default, the procedure will prompt you to edit an existing Ishikawa diagram or start a new one. When you specify the NEW option, the procedure bypasses this initial menu and starts with a new diagram. Do not specify any other options when using the NEW option. For example, the following statements simplify starting a new Ishikawa diagram:
   proc ishikawa new;
      run;


NOFS
allows you to create hard copies of Ishikawa diagrams saved as SAS data sets without invoking the interactive features of the procedure. You must specify the DATA= option when you use the NOFS option. For example, the following statements create a hard copy of the Ishikawa diagram saved in the SAS data set work.airline:
   goptions dev=psl noprompt;
   proc ishikawa data=work.airline nofs;
      run;
