Sample 24937: Create a time line plot with PROC GPLOT and Annotate

This sample program uses PROC GPLOT with the Annotate facility to generate a time line plot.

The graphics output in the Results tab was produced using SAS® 9.2. Submitting the sample code with releases of SAS prior to SAS 9.2 might produce different results.
