hi ... another way to make all the SAS-supplied annotate macros available within a SAS session
is to use ...

%annomac;

LOG ...

6    %annomac;
*** ANNOTATE macros are now available ***
 For further information on ANNOTATE macros, enter,
    %HELPANO(macroname), (for specific macros)
    %HELPANO(ALL), (for information on all macros)
 or %HELPANO (for a list of macro names)


if you don't need (or want) all of them mucking up the SAS session,
try Robin's method of invoking just the ones you need

"less code" versus "just what you need"
