Here is the form that
you use to specify dynamic content:
where
DNAME is a name that you want to associate with
the text that is generated.
Note: DNAME follows SAS naming conventions. The name cannot contain any special
character other than “_”. In addition,
DNAME must start with an alphabetic character.
After you have saved
the graph, you can generate the graph using the SGDESIGN procedure.
In the SGDESIGN procedure, you specify the value for
DNAME with a DYNAMIC statement. When you generate
the graph, the SGDESIGN procedure substitutes
dyn(DNAME)
with the value that you specified
for
DNAME.
For example, suppose
that you want the title of a graph to vary by year. In ODS Graphics
Designer, you might specify the following title: “Revenues
for dyn(YEAR).”
When you run the graph
using the SGDESIGN procedure, you can specify
DYNAMIC
year=”2009”
. The entire string “dyn(YEAR)”
is replaced with the specified value. In the resulting graph, the
title becomes “Revenues for 2009”.
