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).
Cynthia
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.
