PROC CAPABILITY and General Statements

Dictionary of Options

The following entries provide detailed descriptions of options for the SPEC statement. The marginal notes Graphics and Line Printer identify options that can be used only with graphics devices and line printers, respectively.

CLEFT=color
[Graphics]
specifies the color of the pattern used to fill the area under a histogram to the left of the lower specification limit. This option is applicable only when the SPEC statement is used in conjunction with a HISTOGRAM or COMPHISTOGRAM statement. See Output 1.2.1 for an example. If a pattern is specified for this area with the PLEFT= option, the default color is the second color in the device color list. The CLEFT= option also applies to the area under a fitted curve; for an example, see Output 4.1.1.

CLSL=color
[Graphics]
specifies the color of the the lower specification line displayed in plots created with the CDFPLOT, COMPHISTOGRAM, HISTOGRAM, PROBPLOT, and QQPLOT statements. The default is the second color in the device color list.

CRIGHT=color
[Graphics]
specifies the color of the pattern used to fill the area under a histogram to the right of the upper specification limit. This option is applicable only when the SPEC statement is used in conjunction with a HISTOGRAM or COMPHISTOGRAM statement. See Output 1.2.1 for an example. If a pattern is specified for this area with the PRIGHT= option, the default color is the third color in the device color list. The CRIGHT= option also applies to the area under a fitted curve; for an example, see Output 4.1.1.

CTARGET=color
[Graphics]
specifies the color of the the target line displayed in plots created with the CDFPLOT, COMPHISTOGRAM, HISTOGRAM, PROBPLOT, and QQPLOT statements. The default is the first color in the device color list.

CUSL=color
[Graphics]
specifies the color of the upper specification line displayed in plots created with the CDFPLOT, COMPHISTOGRAM, HISTOGRAM, PROBPLOT, and QQPLOT statements. The default is the third color in the device color list.

LLSL=linetype
[Graphics]
specifies the line type for the lower specification line displayed in plots created with the CDFPLOT, COMPHISTOGRAM, HISTOGRAM, PROBPLOT, and QQPLOT statements. See Output 1.2.1 for an example. The default is 1, which produces a solid line.

LSL=value-list
specifies the lower specification limits for the variables listed in the VAR statement, or for all numeric variables in the input data set if no VAR statement is used. If you specify only one lower limit, it is used for all of the variables; otherwise, the number of limits must match the number of variables. See "Computing Capability Indices" for an example.

LSLSYMBOL='character'
[Line Printer]
specifies the character used to display the lower specification line in line printer plots created with the CDFPLOT, COMPHISTOGRAM, HISTOGRAM, PROBPLOT, and QQPLOT statements. The default character is 'L'.

LTARGET=linetype
[Graphics]
specifies the line type for the target line in plots created with the CDFPLOT, COMPHISTOGRAM, HISTOGRAM, PROBPLOT, and QQPLOT statements. See Output 1.2.1 for an example. The default is 1, which produces a solid line.

LUSL=linetype
[Graphics]
specifies the line type for the upper specification line displayed in plots created with the CDFPLOT, COMPHISTOGRAM, HISTOGRAM, PROBPLOT, and QQPLOT statements. See Output 1.2.1 for an example. The default is 1, which produces a solid line.

PLEFT=pattern
[Graphics]
specifies the pattern used to fill the area under a histogram to the left of the lower specification limit. This option is applicable only when the SPEC statement is used in conjunction with a HISTOGRAM or COMPHISTOGRAM statement. For an example, see Output 1.2.1. The PLEFT= option also applies to the area under a fitted curve; for an example, see Output 4.1.1. If a CLEFT= color is specified, the default pattern is a solid fill.

PRIGHT=pattern
[Graphics]
specifies the pattern used to fill the area under a histogram to the right of the upper specification limit. This option is applicable only when the SPEC statement is used in conjunction with a HISTOGRAM or COMPHISTOGRAM statement. For an example, see Output 1.2.1. The PRIGHT= option also applies to the area under a fitted curve; for an example, see Output 4.1.1. If a CRIGHT= color is specified, the default pattern is a solid fill.

TARGET=value-list
specifies a target values for the variables listed in the VAR statement, or for all numeric variables in the input data set if no VAR statement is used. If you specify only one target value, it is used for all of the variables; otherwise, the number of values must match the number of variables. See "Computing Capability Indices" for an example.

TARGETSYMBOL='character'
TARGETSYM='character'
[Line Printer]
specifies the character used to display the target line in line printer plots created with the CDFPLOT, COMPHISTOGRAM, HISTOGRAM, PROBPLOT, and QQPLOT statements. The default character is 'T'.

USL=value-list
specifies the upper specification limits for the variables listed in the VAR statement, or for all numeric variables in the input data set if no VAR statement is used. If you specify only one upper limit, it is used for all of the variables; otherwise, the number of limits must match the number of variables. See "Computing Capability Indices" for an example.

USLSYMBOL='character'
[Line Printer]
specifies the character used to display the upper specification line in line printer plots created with the CDFPLOT, COMPHISTOGRAM, HISTOGRAM, PROBPLOT, and QQPLOT statements. The default character is 'U'.

WLSL=n
[Graphics]
specifies the width in pixels of the lower specification line in plots created with the CDFPLOT, COMPHISTOGRAM, HISTOGRAM, PROBPLOT, and QQPLOT statements. See Output 1.2.1 for an illustration. The default is 1.

WTARGET=n
[Graphics]
specifies the width in pixels of the target line in plots created with the CDFPLOT, COMPHISTOGRAM, HISTOGRAM, PROBPLOT, and QQPLOT statements. See Output 1.2.1 for an illustration. The default is 1.

WUSL=n
[Graphics]
specifies the width in pixels of the upper specification line in plots created with the CDFPLOT, COMPHISTOGRAM, HISTOGRAM, PROBPLOT, and QQPLOT statements. See Output 1.2.1 for an illustration. The default is 1.
