CHART procedure programs work
with ADABAS data that is described by view descriptors just as they
do with other SAS data sets. The following example uses the view
descriptor VLIB.ALLORDR to create a vertical bar chart of the number
of orders per product.
proc chart data=vlib.allordr;
vbar stocknum;
title "Data Described by VLIB.ALLORDR";
run;
VLIB.ALLORDR accesses
data from the NATURAL DDM named ORDER. The following output shows
the results for this example. STOCKNUM represents each product; the
number of orders for each product is represented by the height of
the bar.

Base SAS Procedures Guide.
If you have
SAS/GRAPH
software, you can create colored block charts, plots, and other graphics
based on
ADABAS data. See
the
SAS/GRAPH: Reference for more information about the types of graphics
that you can produce with
SAS/GRAPH software.
