title-text

is the text for the title definition.

Details

SETTITLE works just like the TITLE statement. It clears all title definitions that are numbered higher than the one created. You cannot use SETTITLE to set graphic options such as color, font, and position.

You can view title definitions in the TITLES window by using the TITLE command. However, changing any text in the TITLES window resets all graphically defined title options such as color, font, and position.

For more information about titles, see SAS Language Reference: Dictionary. For more information about graphical titles, see SAS/GRAPH: Reference .

Example

Create a title numbered 2. The statement deletes all titles with numbers greater than 2.

call settitle(2,'This is the Second Title');
