User defined picture format in GTL

Using proc template to create an overlayed barchart.

Ran into this issue when using a picture format.

The barchart does not seem to recognize the user created picture format.

proc format;

picture date5_ (default=6) other='%0d %A' (datatype=date);

data _byDate;

set _byDate;

ASA=AnswerWaitTimeToHalf/CallsHandledtoHalf;

AHT=HandledCallsTimeToHalf/CallsHandledToHalf ;

CallsHandled=CallsHandledtoHalf/ TotalCalls;

AdandonRate=AbandonedCalled/TotalCalls;

format date date5_.;

run;

proc template;

define statgraph dualhist;

begingraph;

entrytitle "Total Calls vs Handled";

layout overlay / xaxisopts=(label="Day");

/* Total Calls*/

barchart x=date y=TotalCalls/ orient=vertical ;

endlayout;

endgraph;

end;

run;

proc sgrender data=_byDate template=dualhist;

run;

A couple of questions:

1) Are there any notes in the log about that format?

2) How do your values appear on the X axis?

Thanks!
