[GCHBKSUM-Specifying Sum Statistic in a Block Chart]

This example produces a block chart of total sales for three sites by charting the values of the character variable SITE and calculating the sum of the variable SALES for each site. It prints formatted values of the sales statistics below the blocks.

All the blocks use the same pattern because by default patterns change for subgroups and in this example subgroups are not specified.
