Hey there, 

i get a warning that i reached the max amount of Observations for a series plot. The warning says i could change the linepattern to solid or change the LINEPATTERNOBSMAX to a higher value. I cant find the ODS GRAPHICS LINEPATTERNOBSMAX option. is it because my SAS Academic is only SAS 9.4? i found somewhere that i need 9.45. 

 

Can you help me to show more Datapoints (~100.000)?

 

Thank you in advance.

What line pattern are you using currently? I can't imagine anything with any of the dash/dot patterns being very informative with that many data points and would start with a solid line, and likely a very thin one at that, to plot that many points.

 

It is usually a good idea to include the code of your plot and ODS Graphic options in effect so we can see things that may be involved. For instance use of a DISCRETE axis might affect displayed points due to the DISCRETEMAX option setting.

 

Also if using other than the default ODS STYLE it should be mentioned. If you are using a custom ODS STYLE the definition may be important as well.
