how to get "100 µg" in SAS graph output

mano — Sun, 01 Jun 2014 19:23:34 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to create graphical output and I am using the following legend statement to show Placebo, 50 µg, 100 µg, 250 µg :-

Legend1 value=(color=blue height=3 'Placebo' '50 µg' '100 µg' '250 µg');

But this statement is not creating the special symbol and just showing 'Placebo' '50 g' '100 g' '250 g'.

Can any one please help me with code to get special characters printed in the RTF output.

Thanks,

Mano.

What proc are you using, example code is useful.

How are you adding in the micro symbol in your text?

Check out this code, for me it seems to work with no problem, I use SAS9.4. I also added an example using SGPLOT

data have;
  length midpoints $ 32; 
  do midpoints = 'Placebo', '50 µg', '100 µg', '250 µg'; 
    value = ceil( ranuni(0) * 10);
    output; 
  end; 
run; 
Legend1 value=(color=blue height=1 
/*'Placebo' '50 µg' '100 µg' '250 µg'*/
);

proc gchart data=have;
  vbar midpoints / subgroup=midpoints sumvar=value legend=legend1;
run; 
quit; 

proc sgplot data=have;
  vbar midpoints / group=midpoints response=value;
run;

Hi,

Below is the code that I am using. I copied and pasted the text of treatment labels in my editor window of SAS. I am using SAS 9.1.3 version:-
