Removing Subtitle from PROC LIFETEST Plot

[daveconifer1]

I've been using the documentation written by the great Warren Kuhfield to customize plots created directly from PROC LIFETEST and using them for submissions.

HOwever, I'm stumped on this one.  I have a plot in which I am displaying the number of subjects at risk, but I don't want to display "with number of subjects at risk" in the body of the plot.  I have been searching high and low through Warren's KAPLAN.PDF documentation and can't figure this out.  Any ideas?

I see this in the log, but don't know how to alter it:

MPRINT(COMPILESURVIVALTEMPLATES): if (PLOTATRISK=1) entrytitle "With Number of Subjects at Risk" / textattrs=GRAPHVALUETEXT;
MPRINT(COMPILESURVIVALTEMPLATES): endif;

Hi @daveconifer1,

I was able to remove the subtitle by compiling the macros provided in https://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/stat/ex_code/142/templft.html and then submitting

%ProvideSurvivalMacros
%let ntitles=1;
%CompileSurvivalTemplates

before a PROC LIFETEST step (using SAS 9.4M5, SAS/STAT 14.3).

So, if you already use those macros, just add %let ntitles=1; to your existing code for KM plot modifications.
