SGPLOT: INSET with superscript

[Kevin_Viel]

Can one use the inline formatting to superscript within the text of the INSET statement to the SGPLOT procedure?

WARNING 1-322: Assuming the symbol SUP was misspelled as super.

Note that if I omit the ODS Escapechar from the superscript: "`{unicode chi} {super 2}", then SAS produces the RTF file.

You must use the escape sequence (*ESC*) 

[Kevin_Viel]

Well that worked:

(*ESC*){unicode chi}(*ESC*){sup '2'}

Note that 2 is quoted, but I used single quotations because this become a double-quotation mark text-string for the INSET statement:

INSET "text-string" <... "text-string-n"> </options>;

Note, however, so did `{unicode chi}`{super '2'}, where my ODS ESCAPECHAR is "`".

So my issue was that I did not quote the argument (?):

SAS documentation:

ODS ESCAPECHAR Statement

Using the ODS ESCAPECHAR Functions

Here is the syntax for the ODS ESCAPECHAR functions:

escape-character{function-name <<arg-1 <arg-2<arg-n>>>> }

SUPER Function
^{SUPER <superscript-value>}
superscript-value
can be a numeric, alphanumeric, or a character value. This value is written above and immediately to one side of another character.

Always ecstatic and humbled to hear from you data _null_!

Thank you,

Kevin
