Changing the title of a histogram (proc univariate) in SAS 9.3 ?

morglum — Fri, 13 Nov 2015 08:58:05 GMT

Hi all,

I'm trying to rename the histogram in proc univariate. This thread posts an answer that requires /odstitle, but I can't get it to work in SAS 9.3, what would be the alternative? Is it that my SAS 9.3 is not up to date?

It seems that the ODSTITLE= option does not work in SAS 9.3 (TS1M1). In SAS 9.4 (TS1M2) it works fine. As an alternative you could try this:

proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;
histogram weight / showbins;
title 'Your own title';
run;

Does this work in your SAS 9.3?
