Problem Note 45083: Error or warning messages might be issued when specifying the ORDER= option in a LEGEND or AXIS statement when values exceed 32 characters
 |  |  |  |  |
The following error message might be issued when specifying the ORDER= option in a LEGEND statement used with a SAS/GRAPH® procedure:
*
For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be
fixed.
ERROR: The ORDER= entry "xx" is not a legend value.
The problem is most likely to occur if any of the values in the legend exceed 32 characters in length.
A similar issue might occur when specifying the ORDER= option in an AXIS statement with the GBARLINE procedure. Warning messages like the following will be issued when the values specified with the ORDER= option exceed 32 characters in length:
WARNING: The values of zvar have been truncated to 32 characters.
WARNING: Order value specified in the AXIS statement does not match a
midpoint value.
WARNING: No bars were drawn. This could have been caused by ORDER= on the
AXIS statement. You may wish to use the MIDPOINTS= option on the BAR
statement instead.
