SAS/ACCESS Interface to CA-DATACOM/DB: Reference

Charting Data

CHART procedure programs work with data described by view descriptors just as they do with SAS data files. The following example uses the view descriptor VLIB.ALLORDR to create a vertical bar chart of the number of orders per product:

proc chart data=vlib.allordr;
   vbar stocknum;
   title 'Data Described by VLIB.ALLORDR';
run;

VLIB.ALLORDR accesses data from the table ORDER. Vertical Bar Chart Showing Number of Orders per Product shows the information for this example. STOCKNUM represents each product. The number of orders for each product is represented by the height of the bar.

If you have SAS/GRAPH software, you can create colored block charts, plots, and other graphics based on CA-DATACOM/DB data. See the SAS/GRAPH Software: Reference for more information on the kinds of graphics you can produce with this SAS software product.
