Proc Cluster problem

Dear Friends

I am working on clustering of 241 individuals based on 5 traits. When I am using this macro

ods graphics on;

proc cluster data=Ace method=ward ccc pseudo print=15 out=tree

plots=den(height=rsq);

var can1-can3;

id g;

run;

ods graphics off;

It says

WARNING: The MAXPOINTS option value 200 is less then the number of clusters (241). This may

result in a dendrogram that is difficult to read. The dendrogram will not be displayed.

You can use the PLOTS(MAXPOINTS=) option in the PROC CLUSTER statement to change this

maximum

How should I proceed. where should I write maxpoints=241 and maxcluster=241 so that I can get the results.Thanks in advance.

regards

anil
