SAS EG %_sas_popchartsize Macro

GPatel — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 18:52:23 GMT

Where to find/locate code for %_sas_popchartsize and %_sas_pushchartsize macro?

( One can find the code for %_EG_CONDITIONAL_DROPDS at support.sas.com\kb\38\454.html )

If you select File->Export->Export All Code in Project, the result *should* include all source code for any macros that your project tasks reference.

Chris,

I tired that. I don't see any source code for either %_EG_CONDITIONAL_DROPDS or %_SAS_POPCHARTSIZE.

Okay, here it is:

/* save the current settings of XPIXELS and YPIXELS */

/* so that they can be restored later */

%macro _sas_pushchartsize(new_xsize, new_ysize);

%global _savedxpixels _savedypixels;

options nonotes;

proc sql noprint;

select setting into :_savedxpixels

from sashelp.vgopt

where optname eq "XPIXELS";

select setting into :_savedypixels

from sashelp.vgopt

where optname eq "YPIXELS";

quit;

options notes;

GOPTIONS XPIXELS=&new_xsize YPIXELS=&new_ysize;

%mend;

/* restore the previous values for XPIXELS and YPIXELS */

%macro _sas_popchartsize;

%if %symexist(_savedxpixels) %then %do;

GOPTIONS XPIXELS=&_savedxpixels YPIXELS=&_savedypixels;

%symdel _savedxpixels / nowarn;

%symdel _savedypixels / nowarn;

%end;

%mend;

Thanks Chris. This is what I was looking for.
