*==> 2. Get message to be displayed;  

data message(keep=n letter);
input word $char5.;
do i=1 to 5;                          * Max of 5 characters wide;
  n+1;                                * Letter sequence number;
  letter=substr(word,i,1);
  output;
end;  
datalines;
HAPPY

 DAY
;
*==> 3. Merge letters in message with the x/y points that represent them;  

proc sql;                            
create table message5x7 as 
select m.n, m.letter,                 /* Force x/y points of spaces outside of visible chart range (99, 99) */ 
case when l.letter is null then 99 else l.x end as x, 
case when l.letter is null then 99 else l.y end as y
from message m left join LED5x7 l on m.letter=l.letter
order by m.n, y, x;

data message5x7icon;                  * Assign a labor-related icon to each point;
set message5x7;
icon=mod(_n_-1,20)+1;                 * One of twenty icons;


*==> 5. Macro to assign 20 labor-related images (jobs) to sympbols for use as markers in scatter plots;

%let datasymbols=;                    
%macro gensymbols;
%do j=1 %to 20;                       * 20 labor-related thumbnail icons;
  %let img=%scan(attorney carpenter cashier constructionworker cook customerservice delivery doctor driver farmer

              image="/folders/myfolders/laborday/&img..png";
  %let datasymbols=&datasymbols &img;
%end; 
%mend;

*==> 6. Display message using panel of scatter charts (1 chart per letter)
        Each letter is a 5x7 LED-like scatter chart of labor-related icons;
