| Creating Bar and Pie Charts |
| Using RUN-Group
Processing |
| At this point, you've learned a number of options for enhancing charts. When you are modifying your SAS/GRAPH output, you can also take advantage of RUN-group processing. This means that when running in interactive mode, you can submit additional statements to enhance your output without resubmitting the PROC step that created it. |
Let's look at an example to see how this works. Suppose
you submit the following program to create a bar chart.
proc gchart data=clinic.therapy1999;
vbar month / sumvar=swim;
run;
|
| After you create the chart, you decide to add a label.
Instead of resubmitting the entire PROC GCHART step, you can submit only
a LABEL statement, along with a RUN statement, to cause the LABEL statement
to execute. When you submit the following statements, the last action statement submitted (in this case, the VBAR statement) re-executes and re-creates the output with the label added. label month='Month of 1999';
run;
|
To end the procedure, you must submit another PROC step,
a DATA step, or a QUIT statement (shown below).
quit;
|
 |
Not all procedures support RUN-group processing, and implementation varies. For more information, see SAS/GRAPH Software: Reference. |
