YC Variable
Identifies the y coordinate of a graphics element when the coordinate value is character.
| Type: | character |
|---|---|
| Length: | Should match that of the plot variable in the procedure. The maximum length is 256 characters. |
| Default: | YLAST | YLSTT |
| Restriction: | Used only with output from the GCHART and GPLOT procedures. Ignored if the axes are numeric. |

Details
Using the YC Variable
The YC variable is the character equivalent of the Y variable. Use YC when the axis values are character. You must also specify a value of 2 (absolute data values) for the YSYS variable. (See YSYS Variable.) If you use a value other than 2 for the YSYS variable, the is not displayed properly.
See Using the XC and YC Variables with Character Data for an illustration of the YC variable.
CAUTION
Do not use Y and YC variables in the same data set. Using both Y and YC variables in the same data set can cause unpredictable results.
Functions
You can use the YC variable with these functions:
| BAR | PIE | POLYCONT |
| DRAW | PIECNTR | SYMBOL |
| LABEL | POINT | |
| MOVE | POLY |
