Problem Note 17238: Plotted line(s) may be missing from a graph created with PROC GPLOT
 |  |  |  |  |
Plotted lines may be unexpectedly missing from a plot created with the SAS/GRAPH GPLOT procedure. This issue is most likely to occur if multiple values of a character category variable specified on the PLOT statement of PROC GPLOT contains a leading blank.
To circumvent the problem, remove the leading blank from the values of the category variable using the LEFT function in a SAS DATA Step.
For example:
DATA NEW;
SET OLD;
<category-variable>=LEFT(<category-variable>);
RUN;
PROC GPLOT;
PLOT <Y-axis-variable> * <X-axis-variable> = <category-variable>
RUN;
QUIT;
