Problem Note 14928: Exception errors may occur when using PROC GCHART with the ACTIVEX
device driver
The following errors may occur when specifying the ORDER= option on an
AXIS statement assigned to the group axis of a PROC GCHART (the errors
appear in two dialog boxes labeled "SASGrph9"):
! ERROR: Exception in chart area configuration
<ok>
! ERROR: Exception occurred in graph. ACCESS_VIOLATION
<ok>
The errors are most likely to occur when the SUBGROUP= option is
specifed and there are no observations in the data set for at least one
of the group variable values specified for the ORDER= option. This
problem only occurs with the ACTIVEX device driver.
To circumvent the problem, create a dummy data set that contains
observations for all possible or at least the missing group value(s) and
at least one midpoint value. The response value should be set to zero.
Combine the original data set with the dummy data set using a SET
statement.
