Problem Note 52771: Data tips created with the ActiveX device driver no longer recognize the '0D'X carriage-control character with SAS® 9.4
When creating graphics output with the ActiveX device driver prior to SAS 9.4, you can create data tip information that spans multiple lines by using the '0D'X carriage-control character when building your data tip variable. Here is an example:
altvar = 'ALT="Make: ' || trim(make) || '0D'X ||
'Model: ' || trim(model) || '"';
However, with SAS 9.4, the '0D'X carriage-control character is no longer honored and all of the data tip information is displayed on a single line.
To circumvent the problem, replace the '0D'X character with '^[n]^' when creating your data tip variable. Here is an example:
altvar = 'ALT="Make: ' || trim(make) || '^[n]^' ||
'Model: ' || trim(model) || '"';
