Sharilyn,
 
You didn't mention your output device type. How about an HBAR with long (or
banner) paper? Define the page length as large. I'm not sure what would
happen on your device if you defined the page length as two or three pages
long, it worked for me.

OK... SAS/GRAPH question coming up....
 
Problem:
 
Using proc gchart (vbar option) with a data set that has a character
variable
containing many unique values results in an unreadable graph.  Proc gchart
creates a single bar for each value and puts them all on one graph.
 
We want to display all the bars, just not all on one graph. Suggestions???
 
PS:
 
It looks like this is on the 1997 SASware Ballot Survey under the PART IV
SAS/GRAPH Software section:  "145 allow graphics output to span multiple
pages". So.... any ideas for work-arounds???
