Distribution of Change chart displaying jumbled text instead of box/whisker plot

[gjenkins3]

Hello,

Newbie here. I'm trying to do a one-way ANOVA using PROC GLM, and everything else comes back fine except for the distribution of change. It provideds what looks like a single negatively sloped line composed of overlapping text.

Here's the code I'm using:

proc glm data=work.proceval plots=diagnostics;

class coalinfo4;

model change=coalinfo4;

means coalinfo4 / hovtest;

run;

coalinfo4 is a categorical variable with three response options. I had previously run an ANOVA and it represented the categories as 1, 2, and 3, and was showing the Distribution of Change chart. I forgot to save the syntax, though, and now it represents the categories on the output as the entire text of the category and doesn't display the D of C chart.

Suggestions???

Thanks,

Newbie

Perhaps the coalinfo4 variable contains many more than three categories? Use PROC FREQ to find out.

Since you didn't post code, try using a standard SAS example data set in the SASHELP libref. For example, here is your syntax applied to SASHELP.cars. Which plot are you asking about?

proc glm data=sashelp.cars plots=diagnostics;
class origin;
model mpg_city = origin;
means origin / hovtest;
run;
