template: issues with text/label in entrytitle and reference line

Adie_efc — Mon, 30 Jun 2014 14:33:37 GMT

I have two issues with my template code;

1) I want to have some text at the top of the plot with ID, Treatment, sex, race and age. These are variables in the dataset.

If I use the variable name in my grender code (eg as per _trt) and use the entry title below

proc sgrender data= x template=steven;

by subjid trta;

dynamic _x = 'ady'

_y = 'aval'

_var = 'paramcd'

_trt = 'trta'

_subj = 'subjid'

_label ='test values'

;

run;

entrytitle halign=center "ID: " _subj " Treatment group: " _trt

/ textattrs=(size=10 family="Arial");

all I get is the text _subjid and _trt rather than the values. Ive got round it by using by variable but this ends up being stupid with 5 of them.

2) The second issue is that I want to have reference lines at the start (x=0) labelled start, one at the day they stopped (varies per pt) labelled stop and the same for when they died.

referenceline x=0 / lineattrs=(pattern=1) curvelabel="Start" curvelabellocation=inside;

referenceline x=died / lineattrs=(pattern=1) curvelabel="Died" curvelabellocation=inside ;

referenceline x=stop / lineattrs=(pattern=1) curvelabel="Stop" curvelabellocation=inside ;

this works fine for the x=0 line but puts the values rather than the label on the latter two.

have attached (hopefully) the program, dataset and output.

Thanks!

ha! Formatting the variable so all the values are Died or Stop worked for the second issue.

proc format;
value died
low - high ='Died';
value stop
low - high ='Stop';
run;

data x;
set x;
format died died. stop stop.;
run;

For the first item, try this:

entrytitle halign=center "ID: " eval(colname(_subj)) " Treatment group: " _trt

/ textattrs=(size=10 family="Arial");

-or-

entrytitle halign=center "ID: " eval(collabel(_subj)) " Treatment group: " _trt

/ textattrs=(size=10 family="Arial");

Hope this helps!

entrytitle halign=center "Race: " eval(collabel(_race))

/ textattrs=(size=10 family="Arial");

gives me the same thing Race: Race (the first example Colname) gives me Race: RACE. the value of Race is Caucasian.
