GOPTIONS RESET=ALL does a reset to everything as you have found out. You can reset specific subsytems such as AXIS, FOOTNOTE, LEGEND, PATTERN, SYMBOL, and TITLE but from your text I don't think thats actually what you want. You don't say with "other settings are unappropriate" so can't provide specific help. Typically I would use the reset= all once for a project and then set the specific items as needed before each chart. Set a specific device that PDF likes if you're worried about the warning and especially if the output isn't as desirec. The STYLE in effect for your PDF output will also set fonts, colors and markers unless specifiec in such things as AXIS, LEGEND, PATTERN, SYMBOL and TITLE statements. I am assuming that your question "is there any way to make legend (in code copy) to specify compliance between color and bar-value?" refers to the same category having the same display color/pattern in multiple charts. It seems that the default in SAS for color assignment is the first value displayed gets the first color in the list. The easiest way I've managed similar behavior is to 1) Ensure that each chart has data group has a record for each category even if the dispaly value is missing and 2) Make sure the sort order of the categorical variables is the same. Quite often I actually pre-summarize the data to get the sum, mean etc. so I can see which categories I need to add with missing values.
