Details

The GSET('COLREP', . . . ) function associates a predefined SAS color name with a color index. Many of the GASK routines and GSET functions use color-index as an argument.

If this function is not used, DSGI searches for a color specification in the following order:

the nth color in the color list of the COLORS= graphics option
the nth color in the device's default color list
