VPLOT2 Command-Plot Two Variables

The VPLOT2 command is used with the VPLOT command to plot two variables across time. This ability lets you compare the performance of two variables side-by-side in a single report to see if a cause-and-effect relationship exists between them. The VPLOT2 variable is printed directly over the VPLOT variable.

Note: Use the VPLOT2 command with the VPLOT command.

This command has the following syntax:

VPLOT2 variable [options] [SCALE({n},{mX},{COMMON})] [CHAR1(x)]
 [HDR1(text)] [HDR2(text)] [HDR(text)]

The operands for the VPLOT2 command are the same as for the VPLOT command except that the VPLOT2 command:

Specify SCALE(COMMON) if you want to use the same scale to plot both variables.

Example: VPLOT and VPLOT2 Commands

The following commands plot terminal response time with asterisks (*) and transaction use rate with plus signs (+):

VPLOT  TERM RESP             CHAR1(*)
VPLOT2 TRANSACTION USE RATE  CHAR1(+)
END
RUN
