I'm confused.

In your current code SUMVAR controls the height. If you want something else you'll have to clarify.

The apparent height is going to be controlled by combinations of the device display area and the axis settings. For example if you vertical axis is set to diplay y values from 0 to 100 your bar heights will be different than if the axis is showing 0 to 50 for the same device settings. If you do not specify the y axis options such as ORDER, to control tickmarks, then SAS will generate a default one that displays the values involved and will vary depending on the data. .
