SGRENDER Error: Name is not Unique! when using DATTRMAP option

JeffMeyers — Fri, 08 Dec 2023 17:04:25 GMT

Hello,

I have a very complicated figure that I'm trying to add a data attribute map to. It works fine when adding it into GTL template code directly, but when making a data attribute map dataset and assigning it in the SGRENDER statement I get the following error:

There is only one attribute ID in the map and I can't figure out what the issue is. I can assign this data attribute map to SGPLOT but the error happens in SGRENDER.

Any ideas what would cause this error? I can't find documentation on it.

You're missing the DATTRVAR statement on the SGRENDER procedure. You have to use that to bind the attribute map to the correct variable. For example, if you were plotting SASHELP.CLASS with a group variable of SEX, using an attributes map with an ID of "MYID", the SGRENDER would look something like the following:

proc sgrender data=sashelp.class template=mytemplate dattrmap=attrmap;

dattrvar sex="MYID";

run;

Let me know if that works for you. Thanks!

I thought I could just use the DISCRETEATTRVAR statement in my GTL code:
discreteattrvar attrvar=_attrs_ var=group_lvl attrmap="attrs" ;
I'll give this a try

No, the idea was that you can use the attrmap dataset with any GTL template without modifying the template. Your GTL template should have no discrete attribute map syntax. The gives you the ability to use your template with or without the attributes map.

This documentation is what I was following that said I could go either with the DATTRS option or the DISCRETEATTRVAR option: GTL reference

Either way, I removed the attribute map references from my GTL code and tried with the DATTRVAR instead and it resulted in the same error.

I removed my LEGENDITEM statements as well just in case there was something there. I didn't see any other statements with a NAME assignment option either, so I'm pretty lost on what's causing this.

My dataset is just coordinates and an ID column basically for plotting. My GTL code is:

proc template;
        %if &nby=1 or %qupcase(&by_method)=PANELS %then %do;

Too add more information it seems when I remove the TEXTPLOT from my GTL code the error goes away, so there is some kind of interaction going on there that I'm not seeing. I don't even have a group variable in my TEXTPLOT.

Re: SGRENDER Error: Name is not Unique! when using DATTRMAP option

JeffMeyers — Fri, 08 Dec 2023 19:16:01 GMT

It seems that the issue is caused by referring to a variable named VALUE in my dataset within the template. When I changed this variable name the error went away. I'm assuming this is related to VALUE being a required column in the attribute map dataset.
