Produces a block chart.

-
specifies the variables for which PROC CHART produces a
block chart, one chart for each variable.
The options available on the BLOCK, HBAR, PIE, STAR, and VBAR statements
are documented in Customizing All Types of Charts.
Because
each block chart must fit on one output page, you might have to adjust the
SAS system options LINESIZE= and PAGESIZE= if you have a large number of charted
values for the BLOCK variable and for the variable specified in the GROUP=
option.
The following table shows the maximum number of charted values of BLOCK
variables for selected LINESIZE= (LS=) specifications that can fit on a 66-line
page.
If the value of any GROUP= level is longer than three characters, then
the maximum number of charted values for the BLOCK variable that can fit might
be reduced by one. BLOCK level values truncate to 12 characters. If you exceed
these limits, then PROC CHART produces a horizontal bar chart instead.
