User defined picture format in GTL

[Jaime]

Using proc template to create an overlayed barchart.

Ran into this issue when using a picture format.

The barchart does not seem to recognize the user created picture format.

proc format;

    picture date5_ (default=6) other='%0d %A' (datatype=date);

data _byDate;

    set _byDate;

    ASA=AnswerWaitTimeToHalf/CallsHandledtoHalf;

  AHT=HandledCallsTimeToHalf/CallsHandledToHalf     ;

    CallsHandled=CallsHandledtoHalf/ TotalCalls;

    AdandonRate=AbandonedCalled/TotalCalls;

format date date5_.;

run;

proc template;

    define statgraph dualhist;

        begingraph;

            entrytitle "Total Calls vs Handled";

            layout overlay / xaxisopts=(label="Day");

                /* Total Calls*/

                barchart x=date y=TotalCalls/ orient=vertical ;    

            endlayout;

        endgraph;

    end;

run;

proc sgrender data=_byDate template=dualhist;

run;

A couple of questions:

1) Are there any notes in the log about that format?

2) How do your values appear on the X axis?

Thanks!
