 PROC LIFETEST passes a number of summary statistics as dynamic
 variables to the ODS Graphics for survival plots (see the Section
 "Additional Dynamic Variables for Survival Plots Using ODS
 Graphics" in the LIFETEST documentation). In this example, the
 graphical template (Stat.LIFETEST.Graphics.ProductLimitSurvival)
 for displaying the product-limit survival curves is modified
 to accomodate the display of the summary statistics. One can
 download Stat.Graphics.ProductLimitSurvival to the log by
 running PROC TEMPLATE as follows:

 proc template;
    source Stat.Lifetest.Graphics.ProductLimitSurvival;
 run;

 The lattice layout is used to display the survival curves in the
 plotting area and the summary statistics in the Columnheader area.
 Summary statistics are displayed using the macro
 %ProductLimitStat(n=,fmt=), where n= specifies the number of
 strata, and fmt= specifies a format for displaying the median
 survival and the corresponding confidence limits. By default,
 fmt=F6.1.

 A note of caution. After you run PROC TEMPLATE with the change,
 the new template is stored in your sasuser directory. If you
 want to restore to the original template, you can use PROC
 template as follows:

 proc template;
    delete  Stat.Lifetest.Graphics.ProductLimitSurvival;
 run;
