Here is how to get SAS to draw a scatterplot matrix. You need to use the interactive data analysis module available through menus. Start up windowing SAS, as usual Type in the appropriate data step commands to read your data; end with a run; command. Submit that data step to read your data into a data set. The log window should tell you that the data set WORK.XXX was created with NN observations and NN variables. XXX will be the name you gave the data set (from data XXX;). Find and click SOLUTIONS on the main menu (top of the SAS window). That drop down menu includes ANALYSIS, click that. The third pull down menu includes 'Interactive Data Analysis'. Select that. A new window will open up with two choice boxes labeled LIBRARY and DATASET. Click WORK in the LIBRARY box. The data set box will then include the names of your data set(s). Click on your data set name. A new window will open up with a display of your data set. Click and shift-click to select all the variables to be plotted. The main menu at the top of the SAS window will now include ANALYZE. Select that. One of the pull down menu options is SCATTERPLOT. Select that. SAS should now draw your scatterplot matrix in a new window. You can print that plot. Make sure the window is highlighted, then select FILE/PRINT. Click 'FILL PAGE' in the menu box that appears. (otherwise each plot is on a separate page). You may also be able to copy and paste the file into word. For your homework a printout is perfectly adequate. If you're a JMP user, a scatterplot is easy to get. Scatterplot matrix is one of the choices under the Multivariate menu.
