proc report error: adjust column width or line size

[gzr2mz39]

I'm currently receiving the following error for my "bar" variable.

The max value of per_osha11 is 24.
How do I fix this error?
Thank you.

ERROR: The width of bar is not between 1 and 98. Adjust the column width or line size.
NOTE: This affects LISTING output.

Without asking why; you want a repeated character up to 100 times in the first column, but is that what you want?

If the error is a listing destination error and you are not using the listing destination, turn it off ( ods listing close;)

My memory says that in the listing destination a given column cannot be wider than the width of the paper (LINESIZE= system option).  So increasing the LINESIZE might change the error.

In the COMPUTE BAR block you multiply per_osha11 by 50, any value of per_osha11>2 (it can be up to 24) would give a total gt 100.  any value of barsize>99 will give a bar with ge 100 characters.

Hi:

  Art's memory is correct. That message usually appears because the LISTING destination is still open and the calculated size of a column when added to the calculated size of the other columns will exceed the current LINESIZE setting. The fix is to use

ODS LISTING CLOSE;

before the ODS step.
