Details

Note: Not all coordinate systems are valid with all Annotate variables or all SAS/GRAPH procedures. See About the Annotate Functions for any restrictions that apply to the variable that you want to use.

The ZSYS variable cannot be set through this macro. Use an explicit variable assignment instead:

zsys="value"; output;

See Coordinate Systems for a description of the areas and coordinate systems.
