SAS 9.3 Guide to Software Updates

Changes to Formatting and Presentation of
Graphs and Tables
When upgrading from a previous release, you might see different formatting in the
graphs in the Forecasting View, Modeling View, and Series View. In SAS Forecast
Server 12.1, there were changes to the SILK graph component. The information in the
graphs is the same.
Here are some examples of these formatting changes:
SAS Forecast Server 12.1 187
n The values on the x-axis and y-axis could differ from a previous release. For
example, on the y-axis, 4E8 now displays as 400000000. The format for the x-axis is
still used to set the time interval for the x-axis.
n The organization of the legend has changed. Also, the legend no longer includes the
Reconciled Forecast Lower 95% and Reconciled Forecast Upper 95%.
n The values in the data table are no longer rounded. In SAS Forecast Server 12.1,
the NLBEST format is used by default, and the format width has been increased to
avoid truncation. In some cases, changes to the 64–bit floating point calculations
could results in different decimal positions. For example, in SAS Forecast Server
12.1, you might see 4.9999999 instead of 5.0.
