General description of the &&CHA commands

Chart naming:

To create an internally defined chart the first command issued must be the CRIC command. Internally defined charts are completely defined using the &&CHA commands in a spool file.

An externally defined chart is defined using the WRKCHT command before printing. First time you issue a &&CHA command for an externally defined chart, all parts of the chart definition - except the sample data - are automatically loaded. (To load the sample data use the LOEC command).

Internally defined chart names must begin with an asterisk (*) character as appose to externally defined charts, which can not begin with the asterisk character.

To reload an externally defined chart use the LOEC command.

Command examples

G11 = 1.2	G11 = 3.1
G12 = 2.4	G22 = 1.5
G21 = 1.4
G22 = 2.2

Print:
&&CHA01 SAMPLEBAR OSDA S1			G11	1.20000	G12	2.40000	G21
1.40000	G22	2.20000
&&CHA01 SAMPLEBAR OSDA S2			G11	3.10000	G22	1.50000
