Hi Dr. Allison, You got it correct again thank you so much! My text had leading blanks on it. I just didn't understand how the position of '2' made it display on top of the plot. By the way, I used the code on your oil industry example from your website to create my annotation data set. I added these after the second output statement. function='label';text=target; size=1;y=target; position='2'; output;' The target variable is numeric causing them to have leading blanks. I just recreated the annotation dataset to trim of the leadings blanks and there I got the display I wanted. Many thanks again for your help! Milton
