Problem Note 46402: A syntax error might be issued when specifying a value for the LINETHICKNESS variable in an ODS Graphics annotation data set
 |  |  |  |
A syntax error message like the following might be issued in the SAS Log when attempting to specify the unit of measure for the LINETHICKNESS variable when building an ODS Statistical Graphics (SG) annotation data set:
*
For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be
fixed.
ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: !, !!, &, *, **, +, -, /, <, <=, <>, =, >, ><, >=, AND, EQ, GE, GT, IN, LE, LT, MAX, MIN, NE, NG, NL, NOTIN, OR, ^=, |,
||, ~=.
This problem is most likely to occur if the unit of measure is included with the value of the variable. The SAS® 9.3 ODS Graphics: Procedures Guide, Second Edition incorrectly states that the unit of measure can be specified for the LINETHICKNESS variable. The unit of measure for the line thickness is always pixels.
