With the OUTEST and OUTSEB options in the model statement of the REG procedure is it possible to get the residuals in a data set. This can subsequently read into a plot statement. In know from the model procedure that the adding of NORMAL to the options executes a test of the residuals on normality. I assume it is the same in the REG procedure.

Have a look in the SAS/STATA user guide for the REG procedure. Everything is explained there.

Kind regards, Christine
