extend variable label length

[pastorda]

I have created labels for my variables using the label statement in a data step. Some of my variable labels are longer than 256 characters are are cut off in the output and in graphs. How can I extend the length of the variable label?

data yikes; set pes.pes&version&sem&yr;
label &sem&yr.r113="The Iraqi government declared victory over the Islamic State in the battle for _________, which began in October 2016. Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi arrived in the city on July 9, 2017 to mark the formal end of a bloody campaign that killed thousands of people and displaced nearly a million more."

Looking at your graph, you need the text below your graph. Why don't you try using "FOOTNOTE".

Thanks Suryakiran! I decided to try it first by using item stem as the axis label and all is well now. I appreciate your help.

Labels are limited to 256 characters.
