Proc template in Proc Freq; Change title of the Freq table

[gx2144]

I want to control the output of the proc freq using proc template and I want to change the title of the plot I output using the option. Here is the code:

proc format;
 picture pctfmt (round) other="009.9%";
run;
proc template;
 define crosstabs Base.Freq.CrossTabFreqs;
 cellvalue frequency percent RowPercent ColPercent;
 define frequency;
 format=8.;
 header="Count";
 end;
 define percent;
 format=pctfmt.;
 header="Overall %";
 end;
define RowPercent;
header="Row Pct";
format=6.2;
label="Percent of Row Frequency";
end;
define ColPercent;
header="Col Pct";
format=6.2;
label="Percent of Column Frequency";
end; 
 define header tableof;
 text "Table of " _row_label_ " by " _col_label_;
 end;
 define header rowsheader;
 text " ";
 end;
 define header colsheader;
 text " ";
 end;
 cols_header=colsheader;
 rows_header=rowsheader;
 header tableof;
 end;
 define statgraph Base.Freq.Graphics.ClusterPercentChart;
 /* more code here */
 entrytitle "Distribution of" _row_label "by" _col_label;
run;

/*compare by sex*/
/*R5*/
proc freq data = subset;
label y1p_G_GIRL  = "Gender" R5status = "R5";
title "Table of Gender by R5 status";
table y1p_G_GIRL  * R5status/nopercent chisq plots=freqplot(groupby=column twoway=cluster scale=percent);
format R5status $normal.;
format y1p_G_GIRL  sex.;
run;

I want to change the variable name into Gender here using proc template, it seems that it is doable using "define statgraph Base.Freq.Graphics.xxxxxxx;", but I do not what is the plot name should I use in proc template. 

Looking for your reply.

The log shows the error:
error: 856-580: This statement can only be used inside the Begingraph block

You can get the template name by using

ODS TRACE ON;

(Documentation for ODS TRACE is here.) 

I think the template for your plot is Base.Freq.Graphics.StackedPercentChart.

Thank you. I used ods trace on but the log error shows:
error: 856-580: This statement can only be used inside the Begingraph block"

Although you can technically do this, using SGPLOT seems infinitely easier. Is that an option? 

A few different examples are available here.

Sgplot is doable. I use proc freq because I can simultaneously output freq table, chart, chisq table and fisher exact table.
