Proc sgplot data labels are not displayed - warning -bar labels are suppressed

[Stalk]

I specified datalabel option in my proc , still it's not showing up. How can I show data labels?

In see this message in my log..

WARNING: SASUSER.TEMPLAT is not a template store! It will be ignored.

WARNING: The bar labels are suppressed. Use BARLABELFITPOLICY=NONE to force the labels to be displayed.

proc sgplot data=all_reads PCTLEVEL=GRAPH;

keylegend 'bar' /title='' noborder autooutline;
run;

Please do not copy error and warning messages separate from the code in the log. Position is important relative to code. Copy the text from the log including the procedure code and all the notes, warnings and messages. On the forum open a text box using the </> icon above the main message window and paste the text. The text box is important and the message windows on this forum will reformat text and may move diagnostic information that SAS often supplies as part of the log.

Your first "warning" is most likely to occur with PROC Template. You don't show any such and so can't discuss that.

Also my Standard deviation bars are not showing up in the center..

Does not show any code from Proc SGPLOT  or the messages.

That about SASUSER.Profile is typical when you have two (or more) active display  manager sessions running. If that is the case then close the extras.

For this case, you might want to pre-summarize the data and use a VBARPARM to render the bars and limits. In the simple example below, I had PROC SUMMARY compute the upper and lower CLM just to create data to demonstrate drawing the limits. All you need in your case the mean calculation:

proc summary data=sashelp.class nway;
class age;
var weight;
output out=calced mean=mean uclm=upper lclm=lower;
run;

proc sgplot data=calced;
vbarparm category=age response=mean / limitupper=upper limitlower=lower;
run;

Actually, I had 48 bars, so the graph was crowded. Increasing the size of the graph fixed the data labels and centered the std error bar on the top. ods graphics / reset=ALL outputfmt=PNG imagename="GC_All." width=12IN height=12IN;
