Problem Note 22238: With SAS® 9.2, using byvariable="00"X on a LABEL statement no longer removes the variable name from the BY-line in graphics output
Prior to SAS 9.2, using the following LABEL statement with SAS/GRAPH procedures will remove the variable name (and the equal sign) in the BY-line that appears above the graph:
However, starting with SAS 9.2 TS1M0, the technique above no longer works.
To circumvent the problem, use the following technique instead:
goptions hby=0; /* This removes the default BY-line */
title1 "#byval(byvariable)";
