Plot options Des= not working

[dsbihill]

I can not get my proc gplot to eliminate the auto generated title so that i can replace it.

Current Output

 

I am trying to replace the highlighted title with a custom title but my code doesnt seem to work like i think it is supposed to.

This is what I have right now

PROC GPLOT DATA = WORK.SORTTempTableSorted NOCACHE;

PLOT trans_qty * monyear Mfreq * monyear  / 
	des='APG = #Byval3, Usage Type = #Byval4'
	OVERLAY 
	VAXIS=AXIS1
	HAXIS=AXIS2
	FRAME
	LEGEND=LEGEND1;

	BY customer gd apg1 usage_type;

RUN; 

I cant figure out what I am doing wrong here.

Thank you

The documentation for PROC GPLOT and Description option:

DESCRIPTION="description"

specifies a description of the output. The maximum length for description is 256 characters. The description does not appear in the output. The descriptive text is shown in each of the following:

• the chart description for web output (depending on the device driver). See Chart Descriptions for Web Presentations for more information.
• the Table of Contents that is generated when you use the CONTENTS= option in an ODS HTML statement, assuming that the output is generated while the contents page is open.
• the description and the properties for the output in the Results window.
• the description and properties for the catalog entry in the Explorer.
• the Description field of the PROC GREPLAY window.

Instead of description try the NOGTITLE option and then adding a custom title statement.

Use OPTIONS NOBYLINE to get rid of the original BY line, and put your description into a TITLE2 statement. That should do it for you.

Thanks!
