subscript label characters in proc univariate

ullhvi — Thu, 12 Apr 2018 13:48:29 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to do a simple histogram form the following:

proc univariate data=xxx noprint;
histogram pm25;
label pm25 'Baseline PM2.5, µg/m³';
run;

I would like the '2.5' in the label to be subscript characters

I have tried the

ods escapechar="^"; 
...
label pm25 'Baseline PM^(sub 2.5), µg/m³';

but get the error "SUB FUNCTION NOT DEFINED IN THIS TAGSET"

The superscript m³ was obtained by the alt code "ALT+ 0179" but for some reason the corresponding subscript alt codes do not work?

Any suggestions?

What is your destination? Is it the output window - is that text or html? Text can't really do that. Is it rtf? Excel etc?

You can put superscripts and subscripts in using escape codes where the destination supports them.

Try

ods escapechar='^';

proc sgplot .......

histogram

And better post it at ODS Graphic Forum, I can bet you can get the right answer .

You can try this bit of code:

ods escapechar='^';

proc sgplot data=xxx;
  histogram pm25;
  xaxis label="Baseline PM^{unicode '2082'x}^{unicode '2024'x}^{unicode '2085'x}, ^{unicode mu}g/m^{unicode '00B3'x}" 
    labelattrs=GraphUnicodeText;
run;
