John, and Alan,

If you've got SAS, you can easily create CSV files that you put into Excel
to produce graphs. It's not that difficult (especialy for someone who can
handle SASGraph) to create Excel macros and automate the entire process.
(i.e. batch job on MF creates and FTPs CSV data to PC that runs Excel
Macros to create graph and Emails graphs to interested person).

You can also automate it pretty much the same if you run SAS on your PC
and not the mainframe.

Cheers,

Mark
