ok,
thx for explain.
I misunderstand the mean of "repeat".

This is really interesting to know.
There is a better choice to write a text on a map?
You can do everything you need to with a POINT layer. There have been a
large number of enhancements to labeling in 6.2
http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-77.html
http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-81.html (while this RFC does
not reflect that it was voted on, I believe it was and is part of 6.2 also)

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

STATUS OFF
TYPE ANNOTATION
TRANSFORM LL
FEATURE
POINTS
80 -20
END
TEXT 'Disclaimer Map...'

REPEATDISTANCE 100 <--- seem don't work
END
END
END
