SGDESIGN Procedure
PROC SGDESIGN Statement
Renders a graph (SGD file) that was created by using
ODS Graphics Designer. The statement also enables you to specify a
data set and other options.
Restrictions: |
On z/OS systems, the SGDESIGN procedure does not render
SGD files that were generated with the previous release of the ODS
Graphics Designer. You must open the SGD file in the 9.3 version of
the ODS Graphics Designer (on a Windows or UNIX system). Then save
the file in the 9.3 format.
On z/OS systems, SGD files must be transferred to the
HFS file system of UNIX System Services in order to be rendered by
the SGDESIGN procedure.
|
Requirement: |
An input SGD file specification is required. If the
SGD file was created to use a temporary data set, such as a data set
in the SAS Work library, then that data set must exist in the current
SAS session in order for the graph to be rendered. The data set might
need to be re-created in the current SAS session.

Syntax
PROC SGDESIGN SGD=
"SGD-file-specification"
<CONTENT>
<DATA= input-data-set>
< DESCRIPTION=“text-string” >
< LIBNAME=library-name >
;
Summary of Optional Arguments
outputs important information about the
SGD file into the SAS log.
specifies the SAS data set that contains the variables
to process.
specifies a description for the output image.
specifies an alternate library for all
data sets that are associated with the SGD file.
Required Argument
- SGD= "SGD-file-specification"
-
specifies
the SGD file to use for the graph. Include the complete path and filename
enclosed in single or double quotation marks.
If you do not specify
the full path, then the procedure looks for the file in the SAS current
working directory. The SAS current directory is the same directory
in which you start your SAS session. If you are running SAS with the
Windowing environment in the Windows operating system, then the current
directory is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the main
SAS window.
Optional Arguments
- CONTENT
- outputs important information about the
SGD file into the SAS log. The information
includes data set names, library names, variable names (including
those for dynamic variables), and the ODS style.
Note:When the CONTENT option is used, no graphics
output is produced.
- DATA= input-data-set
- specifies the SAS data set that contains the variables
to process.
By default, the SGDESIGN
procedure uses the data set or data sets that are currently defined
in the SGD file. You have the option to specify an alternate data
set. Only one data set can be specified here. If the SGD file uses
columns from multiple data sets, then the specified data set should
contain all the columns that are required to render the graph.
Specify the full name
of the SAS data set in the format
libref.data-set.
If you do not specify the library, then the procedure looks for the
data set in the SAS Work library.
- DESCRIPTION= “text-string”
- specifies a description for the output image.
The description identifies
the image in the following locations:
-
-
the alternate text for
the image in HTML output
-
the table of contents
that is created by the CONTENTS option in an ODS statement
Alias:DES
Default:The default description is “The SGDesign Procedure”.
- LIBNAME= library-name
- specifies an alternate library for all
data sets that are associated with the SGD file. If no library
is specified, then the procedure uses the library that is currently
defined in the SGD file.
The data
sets in the SGD file can come from multiple libraries. However, when
you use the LIBNAME= option, you override all of those library names
with the specified library.
