GCHART - Raxis scale

[rkumar23]

I am using following axis definition :-

AXIS2 LABEL=('Hour') ORDER=(0 TO 23 BY 1)              

      VALUE=(H=3.0 A=0 R=0 C=BLACK);                   

AXIS4 LABEL=(H=3.0 A=90 R=0 "Avg. % CPU")              

      ORDER=(0 TO 100 BY 10) offset=(0,0) style=0;    

proc Gchart data=all_rec_out(where=(Distname="&distname"));  

format date Date7. ;                                         

VBAR3D Hour / DISCRETE TYPE=SUM SUMVAR=AVGPCT1               

              FRAME                                          

              AUTOREF                                        

              RAXIS=AXIS4                                    

              CAXIS=BLACK                                    

              MAXIS=AXIS2                                    

              MIDPOINTS=0 TO 23 BY 1                         

              VREF=(&thacpu &thmcpu)                         

              LEGEND=LEGEND1 ;                              

However on some of the charts the RAXIS is not scaling like 10,20,30,40 ---100 instead it's 21.99,42.66 etc ...Anybody has idea how i can insure not to have those 21.99 etc instead on RAXIS(vertical) has 10,20,30 forced...?

First step:

Proc Goptions Axis; run;

To see what the actual full current definition of the statement may be at the time of execution as expected.

You might need to post data that recreates the problem. If it doesn't do this consistently for the same data values then I would look the rest of your macro environment.

does the response axis data have values outside of the 0 to 100 range?

[rkumar23]

NO as I see
