Syntax

WHEN='B' | 'A';

B | A: specifies whether to draw the annotation before (B) or after (A) the graph. These values are not case sensitive. A missing value is equivalent to specifying B.

Functions

You can use the WHEN variable with these functions:

BAR MOVE POINT

DRAW PIE POLY

DRAW2TXT PIECNTR POLYCONT

FRAME PIEXY SYMBOL

LABEL

Details

Normally, observations in an Annotate data set are processed sequentially. If you use the WHEN variable, all those observations with a WHEN value of B are processed first, the procedure output is then processed (if one is to be produced), and finally the observations with a WHEN value of A are processed.
