Question

Hi I am ploting some data using BY GROUP option, and saving each plot to a separate file. I want to add an auto figure number to each plot title or footnote.

Lets say I have three BY GROUP variable levels, so i will have 3 plots saved to three files. I want to add either titles or footnotes of:

title "Figure 01. Plot of #byval"; or footnote "Figure 01. Plot of #byval"; 
title "Figure 02. Plot of #byval"; or footnote "Figure 02. Plot of #byval"; 
title "Figure 03. Plot of #byval"; or footnote "Figure 03. Plot of #byval"; 

Here i added 01, 02 and 03 manually but I want to automate it so that I could give a start value and it automatically increment by 1, until the last level of BY GROUP variable.

Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

Have two BY variables where the first BY variable is “01”, “02” etc, and then use:

title "Figure #byval1. Plot of #byval2";
