Lasagne plot error fixing?

Befikadu — Thu, 08 Nov 2018 01:50:51 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to plot a lasagne plot adapting a published code. I am not sure how I can fix the error for the following part of the code.

The warning message says: "WARNING: The blockplot statement will not be drawn because one or more of the
required arguments were not supplied." and it is written five times.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

To answer your question it would help if you could provide the original source, some sample data so we can run the program and/or the log that actually shows the errors.

As posted it would be hard to debug. I'll move your post to the graphics forum as well, sot he relevant people can respond.

And if you could verify your SAS version, that's important in SAS graphics as a lot has changed quickly.

You can find the version via:

proc product_status;run;

Mine for example (SAS UE) shows:

For Base SAS Software ...

Custom version information: 9.4_M5
