Create Typical Time Period Graphs

If you want your graphs to represent a typical time period, such as an average day, you can turn on graph averaging. On the DCL command line, specify /AVERAGE=DAILY (WEEKLY, MONTHLY, and QUARTERLY are also options). From command mode the /AVERAGE qualifier must be specified with the SELECT verb. Window users can set this option from the Select Data dialog box under Additional Options....

If you want a typical Monday type graph, you specify /AVERAGE=WEEKLY and specify a schedule with only Monday as indicated in the following example:

/SCHEDULE=(NOEVERYDAY,MON=0-24)

If history data, with the periodicity attribute set, is used for the graph, the history's periodicity is used for (and overrides) the graph averaging.
