sas error when running sgplot

fengyuwuzu — Tue, 26 Apr 2016 20:00:01 GMT

I was trying to display a longitudinal data (for 10 IDs), with the code below, to see wager patterns of these 10 IDs. But I got the error attached below the code.

http://support.sas.com/kb/55/374.html

has a similar error message. It says" To circumvent the problem, assign a more logical length to the attribute map variables. ", but how to assign a more logical length to the attribute map variables?

Proc SGplot  data = top10.top10_play_tiemzone;
series x=wagerdatetime y=total_wager /
group=DUPI
LineAttrs= (pattern=1 color="black");
run;

I also have another error when runnin sgplot for scatter plot :

ERROR: Internal error in Java extension NewDoubleArray().
ERROR: Java virtual machine exception. java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space.

Post data in the form of a datastep to see if others can duplicate the issue.

1. Can you generate any graphs?

2. Are you sure your code is correct, I'm not sure the lineattrs statement is correct?

3. What version/type of SAS are you using?

SAS should never end with an exception. You should always report these kinds of problems to Tech. Support. They're in the best position to determine the cause of the problem and offer either a workaround or a fix for it.

I use sas 9.4 64 bit on win7.

the code is from page 4 of http://www.biostat.umn.edu/~will/6470stuff/Class15-12/Handout15.pdf

it works. If I use where statement to select only one person's data, it worked:

Proc SGplot  data = top10.top10_daily_wager ;
where DUPI="055de0f8c73c03f36667ef0cb1a46ad4dee09333"; /* DUPI is ID */
series x=date y=sum_wager_day /
LineAttrs= (pattern=1 color="black");
run;

I guess the data is too large -- I selected 10 players and it could not run. So I can generate the picture one by one.

also, when I tried scatter plot, I got the Java error too with 10 players' data; if only player, it is fine. So I think somehow I cannot do 10 players' figures all together. The code below worked, without where statement it will not.

proc sgplot data= top10.top10_play_tiemzone;
where DUPI="055de0f8c73c03f36667ef0cb1a46ad4dee09333";
scatter x=wagerdatetime y=total_wager / 
markerattrs=graphdata2(symbol=circlefilled) transparency=0.8;
xaxis grid;
yaxis grid;
run;

Yes. I will provide the error info to SAS.
