REPEATDISTANCE only works with lines. What is does is to create multiple label points along the line. This does not make sense for ANNOTATION layers for two reasons:

1. annotation is a point, you can not repeat along a point
2. annotation is deprecated in 6.2 and will be going away in the future

You might try creating a line feature and label that with repeatdistance. Or create a grid of points that you can use to position you disclaimer labels with.

Hi,

I notice the repeatdistance don't work on a label of a type annotation
layer.

I read the doc.
Seem the repeatdistance work only with a line layer.
But I guess it could work also with the annotation.
When the goal is the put many disclaimers on a map.

Is this an enhancement feature or a bug of the actual repeatdistance
command. ?

This is my mapfile:

   LAYER
     NAME "rt_ofc.10k10.disclaimer"
     STATUS OFF
     TYPE ANNOTATION
     TRANSFORM LL
     FEATURE
       POINTS
         80 -20
       END
       TEXT 'Disclaimer Map...'
     END
     METADATA
       "wms_title" "...."
       "wms_abstract" "..."
       "wms_layer_group" "..."
     END
     CLASS
       LABEL
         TYPE TRUETYPE
         FORCE true
         COLOR "#FFFFFF60"
         ANTIALIAS false
         PRIORITY 10
         SIZE 10
         ANGLE 0
         FONT "LiberationSans-Regular"
         POSITION UR
         REPEATDISTANCE 100  <--- seem don't work
       END
     END
   END
