I assume you have the historical data.  You need to create the other data
in SAS explicitly, either using a procedure or a datastep.  Some
procedures may create the plot for you.  Otherwise, you need to use the
PLOT procedure or the GPLOT procedure, if you have SAS/GRAPH licensed, and
overlay the plots.
