How to change colour and line style of proc liftest (kaplan graph)?

Medidata — Tue, 13 Dec 2022 16:30:31 GMT

Hello,

I am a non-professional SAS user, a medical student, so I have no idea about macros, etc. Can anyone just tell me in very simple terms how do I change the colour and style of lines in a kaplan graph (Proc lifetest)? I followed the guideline of SAS user guide and pasted this code
[%ProvideSurvivalMacros

%let GraphOpts = DataContrastColors=(green red blue)
DataColors=(green red blue);

%CompileSurvivalTemplates

proc lifetest data=WORK.IMPORT;
time 'Survival months1'n*'Survival months'n(1);
strata Stage;
run;]

But I am now getting this error.

Hello @Medidata,

As a prerequisite for using %ProvideSurvivalMacros and %CompileSurvivalTemplates you need to run the code provided in https://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/stat/ex_code/151/templft.html from %macro ProvideSurvivalMacros; at the beginning (the preceding comment block "S A S S A M P L E L I B R A R Y" is optional) until the very last %mend; at the bottom of the page. Just copy and paste this code into the program editor of your user interface and submit the code as you would any other code. Note that this code alone does not create any notes in the log. It just compiles the SAS macro ProvideSurvivalMacros, which you then call (i.e., execute) with %ProvideSurvivalMacros and use with the subsequent statements (%let ... etc.) of your code.

Edit: It looks like you have accidentally marked your post as an "announcement" by selecting the checkbox "No solution needed for this topic" -- which is obviously not what you intended. 🙂 Not sure if you can deselect the checkbox when editing your post (by selecting Edit from the option menu with the three-horizontal-lines icon).

Thank you so much. The code is now working fine.
