Proc template - Need help in break in X axis of layout lattice

[SSTEAD]

Like many, I have data with an outlier. I want a lattice columnaxes with ranges 0-240, 300-340 with a break character. I am unable to specify, since it requires tickvalues.

Can someone guide me? Thank you.

The solution is to NOT define the column axis within layout lattice. Rather, define it exactly the same for both lattice overlays. I turned the display=NONE option for the histogram.

proc template;
define statgraph Fig_5_4_3;
dynamic VAR VARLABEL;
begingraph /DesignWidth=650px;
entrytitle "&year Widget Contracts ($/unit)" ;
layout lattice / columndatarange=union rowweights=(0.8 0.2)
columndatarange=union rowgutter=2px;
layout overlay /yaxisopts=(griddisplay=on)
xaxisopts=(display=NONE linearopts=(includeranges=(0-220 310-330) ) ) ;
histogram PayerCF / nbins=40 binaxis=false;
densityplot PayerCF / lineattrs=graphfit name='n' legendlabel='Normal';

layout gridded /columns=2 border=TRUE autoalign=(TopLeft);
entry halign=left "N";
entry halign=left eval(strip(put(n(VAR),comma6.)));
entry halign=left "Mean";
entry halign=left eval(strip(put(mean(VAR),dollar6.2)));
entry halign=left "Median";
entry halign=left eval(strip(put(median(VAR),dollar6.2)));
endlayout;
endlayout;
layout overlay / yaxisopts=(griddisplay=on)
xaxisopts=(display=(LINE TICKS TICKVALUES)
linearopts=(includeranges=(0-220 310-330) tickvalueformat=dollar4.
tickvaluelist=(0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 220 320)
) ) ;
boxplot y=PayerCF /orient=horizontal
meanattrs=(color=navy size=10 symbol=diamondfilled)
dataskin=GLOSS
display=(CAPS FILL MEAN MEDIAN )
extreme=true ;
endlayout;
endlayout;
endgraph;
end;
run;
