Dear SAS forumers,

 

Can I please ask if anyone has tried this spread-level plot macro http://www.datavis.ca/sasmac/sprdplot.html?

If so, did you manage to run it without problems?

When I tried to run it with my data, the error started at line211: %labels(data=_sumry_, x=logm, y=logs, text=left(%scan(&class,1)), size=&htext, pos=2, out=_label_); Here I have enclosed partial log window output if you could explain how it can be resolved please?
 

Thank you much.

Yes, in http://www.datavis.ca/sasmac/labels.html it says: "This is an updated version of the LABEL macro ..., renamed to 'LABELS' to avoid a conflict with the LABEL macro in ANNOMAC.SAS." So, LABELS might be the right one to use.

It looks like it's dependent on another macro - labels. Did you download that macro and define it?

 

It looks to be here:

Hello @Miracle,

 

I'm not sure why in your code macro LABELS is called, whereas in the code of SPRDPLOT I only find a call of macro LABEL. Anyhow, both LABEL and LABELS are available under Utility macros --> Graphics utility on the web page you linked to. So, simply download the macros you need and compile them (i.e. simply submit the macro code) or put them into an autocall library before you call SPRDPLOT.

Hmm...interesting. The macro for download is also called %labels, not %label. 

 

Michael also stores his macros on GitHub and %label and %labels macro are both available here. It does look like it was updated to %labels about 4 years, in the last change note.

Dear @FreelanceReinh and @Reeza.

The sprdplot macro now runs without problem.

Thank you very much Smiley Happy
