return-code-variable=GSET('COLREP', color-index, color);

Description

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:

  1. the nth color in the colors list of the COLORS= graphics option

  2. the nth color in the device's default colors list.

Argument Definitions

color-index numeric constant or numeric variable name; a number from 1 to 256 that identifies a color.
color character string enclosed in quotation marks or character variable name; a predefined SAS color name. See Predefined SAS Colors for a list of predefined SAS color names.
