The vertical axis label "Variable=&ltvarname&gt" is missing from the side-by-side, or schematic, box plots in PROC UNIVARIATE.

To circumvent this problem, omit the side-by-side box plots with an ODS statement and use either PROC SHEWHART or PROC GPLOT to generate the plots instead. For example:

proc univariate data=dset plot;

ods listing exclude ssplots;

by byvar;

var x y z;

run;

proc shewhart data=dset;

boxchart (x y z)*byvar;

run;

proc gplot data=dset;

symbol i=box;

plot (x y z)*byvar;

run;

In the default box plots produced by PROC SHEWHART and PROC GPLOT, the whiskers are drawn to the extreme values in each BY group. Refer to the Online Documentation for options on alternate specifications.
