Length of value in discrete Attribute Map Data Sets

[celdelmas]

Hi,

I would like to create an attribute map data set as following:

DATA attributs ;
INPUT id $ value $ fillcolor $ lineColor $ markercolor $;
LENGTH value $ 12;
DATALINES ;

multi [Rxxx][Ryyy] CXCC3300 black black
multi [Rxxx][Syyy] CXFF9900 black black
multi [Sxxx][Ryyy] CX009999 black black
multi [Sxxx][Syyy] CX99CC00 black black
;
RUN ;

the values of "multi" are not printed entirely in the data set (it stops after the 8th character) and I cannot use the attribute map in proc sgplot.

It is the first time I get this issue,

is something wrong with the LENGHT statement?

Does anyone could give me help on this?

Thank you very much in advance!

Move the LENGTH statement before the INPUT statement, and it should work fine.
