Thanks Haikuo! I didn't know about the NOBS= or POINT= arguments, but after reading about them they look like they will be very useful to me. Thanks again!

Don't you need a RETAIN statement there?

Hi all, I'm trying to use the ODS escape character to dynamically insert a line break in the footnote of a SGPLOT chart that I'm outputting to a PDF. However, whenever I try to use "^n" (with "^" being my escape character) I get the error/warning/note in the subject line. I've tried adding "^n" to the footnote statement manuall, as well as via a macro variable. Googling this error note didn't return anything interesting, nor did searching through the SAS help files. The relevant SAS code is below, with the "^n" in question near the end. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get this done, or knows whether or not it can be done at all, it would be much appreciated. I've been able to use other ODS tags via the escape character without issue, as you can see from the code below. ods pdf file = "Test.pdf" BOOKMARKLIST = HIDE DPI = 300 PDFTOC = 1 UNIFORM ; ods graphics on / reset border=OFF width=11in noscale height=8.5in ; ods html close; ods escapechar = '^'; ods noproctitle; title font=Times justify=LEFT "2014 Final Report" justify=RIGHT "^S={font_weight=bold}&RegionVar.^S={}" ; ods proclabel = "&ChartName."; title2 font=Times "^S={font_weight=bold}&ChartName.^S={} (Score = ^S={font_weight=bold}&ScoreVar.^S={})"; proc sgplot data=&RegionVar.5 NOAUTOLEGEND NOCYCLEATTRS UNIFORM=ALL dattrmap=RegionAttrs description = "&ChartName. (&ScoreVar.)" ; highlow x = SourceVar high = UCLMIndiv low = LCLMIndiv / close = PredValIndiv open = PredValIndiv type = bar group = SourceNum attrid = SourceValID barwidth = 1 highlabel = LabelVal name = "main" labelattrs = (family=Times size=10pt weight=bold) lineattrs = (pattern=Solid thickness=2) ; xaxis display = (nolabel) DISCRETEORDER = DATA fitpolicy = STAGGER valueattrs = (family=Times weight=bold) labelattrs = (family=Times) ; yaxis values = (&ChartLow. to &ChartHigh. by 5) valueattrs = (family=Times) labelattrs = (family=Times) ; where IDNum = &ChartID. ; footnote font=Times height=8pt justify=LEFT "CONFIDENTIAL" justify=RIGHT "%sysfunc(left(%qsysfunc(date(),worddate18.)))" ; %if "&MissingValFlag."="Y" %then %do; footnote2 font=Times height=8pt justify=CENTER height=8pt BOLD "MISSING VALUES(S): ^n &MissingValVar.." ; %end; ; run;

Hi, But the number of pages created originally might not be the same as the number of pages as when you do the replay, because you can alter the margins, for example, for one replay to be really, really big and then the number of pages might be different. As far as I know, you can't capture the number of pages directly. Although in the OLD days, before the {thispage} and {lastpage} functions, you had to output to a postscript file and then read the postscript file with a program to grab the number of pages. Not a pretty process. I think of the object as being "self-contained" and instead of printing the last "n" pages, I would look at some of the controls that let you use WHERE processing to select BY groups or by labels for example -- you could select the last BY group to replay. See the WHERE option for the REPLY statement with PROC DOCUMENT: SAS(R) 9.4 Output Delivery System: User's Guide, Second Edition cynthia

Once you start examining alternatives (rather than solving for the original error message), you might get rid of the DATA step entirely: %global macvar1; %if %length(&macvar1)=0 %then %let macvar1=0; There are possible complications if your statements appear inside a macro that might have a local macro variable named macvar1. Good luck.

Another option, besides the width or color of the line, would be to use alpha-transparent colors (if you have SAS 9.3 or higher). With the alpha-transparent colors, the more lines you overlay in the same location, the more color they will get. An example of a red alpha-transparent color would be ... Aff000077

Never mind. I had extra single quotes around the font style and font weight. It works now. Thanks again!

No problem, it is why we are all here.
