Annotate and Layout Datapanel

[BLarson]

Hello, this is my first attempt to annotate a graph proceedure.  I am looking to label a individual endpoint.  In the below example I am using "wowididit" but this later would be replaced by the actual value.  I have created the annotation data set.  Then built the template for a Layout Datapanel view with a CLASSVAR (perhaphs this is my issue).  I am receiving no errors, however there also is nothing being annimated on the graphical output.  Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

You cannot use the old style SAS/GRAPH annotation data set with the new SG procedures.  You will need to create a new data set that has the annotation syntax supported by SG procedures.  See doc here.

Thank you for the guidance.  I am a big fan of your books!  I will read the link.  Again thank you very much.

I understand now where I was off.  I was now successful in my attempt.  Again I greatly appreciate the guidance!!
