I don't think so.

Actually I am using by processing to do it on the 4 different
populations, however I have a proc SQL that goes through one dataset and
pics out the names of the variables that I need to run proc shewhart on
and then plugs them into several 100 macro vars.  Then I run through all
the vars for each of the 4 populations.

Unfortunately proc shewhart is very specific in what the limits= and
history= datasets are structured as and what the field names are.

Can you reshape your data (perhaps via a DATA step view) so that you can
use BY group processing instead of a macro to generate the multiple
charts?
