sgplot legend show group variable

[bjbreitling]

Hi Community,

I have a legend for the group variable in a Scatter plot in SGPLOT.  I have a character variable of 18 characters length that I stored and I want to see the entire name in the legend but it only show the first 8 characters.  How can I see more characters?

Hi:

  I'm not certain what's happening. You might want to check with Tech Support. When I use the code below, I see all my characters in the legend (SAS 9.4).

data class;

  set sashelp.class;

  grp=catx('~',sex,age,'big_bunch_of_characters');

run;

title 'Big Bunch of Characters in Legend';

proc sgplot data=class;

  scatter x=height y=weight / group=grp;

run;

Not sure either, I printed the table itself and saw a few of that variable had the last character or 2 cut off so I made the variable two characters longer and it worked.
