@PamG wrote: If I do a left justification then text touches the box. Is there a way to put a left margin between the text and the box? I think adding white-space characters to the text, as suggested by data_null__, is the easiest (if not the only) option -- similar to the first NOTE statement, note h=12pt; the purpose of which is to insert space between the text and the top of the box. ...

Hello @PamG,   Try the TITLE statement with a HEIGHT= option.   Example: title1 height=5 "Data : aaa"; title2 height=4 "Years of study: xxx"; title3 height=3 "Outcomes: BBB"; proc print data=sashelp.class; run; title; The values 5, 4, 3 are relative sizes, but you can specify absolute values like 24pt as well. ...

Hello @Hlm2019,   Minor correction: SYMGET is not a CALL routine, but a function.   Example (for @Roberto_BM): data _null_; set sashelp.class; mvar='age'||put(age,2.); if not symexist(mvar) then call symputx(mvar,name); else call symputx(mvar,catx(' ',symget(mvar),name)); run; %put &=age11; %put &=age12; %put &=age13; ... ...

Alternatively, you could follow Example 2: Clustering a Grouped Scatter Plot from the documentation: data want; set forest_data; series=1; a=a1; lowa=lowa1; uppera=uppera1; output; series=2; a=a2; lowa=lowa2; uppera=uppera2; output; drop a1--uppera2; run; proc sgplot data=want; scatter x=XValue y=a / yerrorlower=lowa yerrorupper=uppera group=series groupdisplay=cluster clusterwidth=0.15; yaxis label="Odds Ratio" ; run; ...

Hi @ssll,   You could avoid the %IF-%THEN/%ELSE statements like this: %let m=NNEEEERRREEE; %let N=no report will be generated; %let R=quarter to date comparison report; %let E=not in Q3 and not in Jan or Feb; %let c=%substr(&m,&current_month_num,1); %put &&&c;   However, I suspect that you actually want to execute some reporting statements if &c=R. In this case you could at least avoid the nesting: %let m=NNEEEERRREEE; %let N=no report will be generated; %let E=not in Q3 and not in Jan or Feb; %let c=%substr(&m,&current_month_num,1); %if &c=R %then %do; %inc 'C:\Temp\myQtoDreport.sas' / source; %end; %else %do; %put &&&c; %end; ...

Alternatively, you could store the exact value of max(of result1-result16) in variable SummaryResult (and thus have more information available) and define a format to display 100 as "UNKNOWN", 200 as "NO", etc. proc format; value sumres .='MISSING' 100='UNKNOWN' 200='NO' 300-high='YES' other='STRANGE' ; run; data want; set have; if n(of result:) then SummaryResult=max(of result:); format SummaryResult sumres.; run; This formatted variable could be used in CLASS statements (e.g. in PROC MEANS), as a group variable in PROC REPORT, for creating frequency tables (with PROC FREQ), etc. However, it would be slightly less convenient than a character variable if you had to retrieve the formatted values very often (as in if vvalue(SummaryResult)='YES' then ...). ...

Hi @SamSays,   @SamSays wrote: I've tried one of those picture formats (low-high) but it doesn't work because I also want it to round. Picture formats do round if you use the ROUND option: proc format; picture pctfmt (round) 0-high='0009.9%'; run; As demonstrated below, this picture format displays non-negative values x<999.95 exactly like the PERCENT8.1 format displays x/100. 247 data chk; 248 do n=0 to 999949; 249 x=n/1000; 250 p1=put(x, pctfmt.); 251 p2=put(x/100, percent8.1); 252 if p1 ne p2 then output; 253 end; 254 run; NOTE: The data set WORK.CHK has 0 observations and 4 variables. However, the PERCENT8.1 format adds an unnecessary trailing blank, so that variable p2 has length 8, whereas p1 has length 7, which is the default length of the format. Unlike PERCENT8.1, the picture format would also display larger values up to 9999.949... correctly. ... View more

Courier is a proportional  font, i.e., narrow characters like "i" occupy less space than wide characters like "m." This variability makes it virtually impossible to achieve perfect alignment by using space characters such as '20'x or 'A0'x because the exact amount of horizontal space required is most likely not an integer multiple of the width of a space character.   This problem does not occur with non-proportional fonts (where all characters have the same width) such as Courier New, Cumberland AMT or Lucida Console. I had suggested the latter because, like Courier, it is essentially a sans-serif font. See the example text below (created by TEXT statements of PROC SGPLOT) where the digit strings help counting characters.   One proportional and three fixed-width fonts. ... View more

Fully agree with Tom. I would expect that those values would be judged unequal even within Teradata, i.e., the transfer to SAS has not caused the difference. Note that the same sort of numeric precision issues can easily occur in SAS, too. Tom's solution would be the remedy here as well.   Example: 288 data _null_; 289 total_amount=7+0.11+0.27; 290 mean_amount =7+0.27+0.11; 291 if total_amount > mean_amount then flag=1; 292 else flag=0; 293 rflag=(round(total_amount,1e-9) > round(mean_amount,1e-9)); 294 put (_all_) (=best32.); 295 put (_all_) (hex16. /); 296 run; total_amount=7.38 mean_amount=7.38 flag=1 rflag=0 401D851EB851EB86 401D851EB851EB85 3FF0000000000000 0000000000000000 Note that even the BEST32. format conceals the tiny difference (of 2**-50=8.881...E-16) between total_amount and mean_amount, which arose from just adding three numbers in different orders and which is reliably revealed by the HEX16. format. ...
