SCALE Operand-Change the Scale of a PLOT Report

By default, the highest value of a plot scale equals the highest value reached by a variable in the plot. For variables representing percentages, 100 percent. Use the SCALE operand to set your own scale.

If the variable you are plotting yields integer values, you can specify only an integer value with the SCALE operand. If the variable yields real values, the scale you specify must include a decimal point.

Example: PLOT Command with SCALE Operand

To change the maximum value of the scale used in the preceding example to 0.500 seconds, add the SCALE(0.500) operand, as follows:

PLOT TERM RESP TERMID(0A*) ALONE SCALE(0.500)
  FROM 12/07/08 01:00:00
  TO   12/07/08 09:00:00
  EACH HOUR
END
RUN

A report like the following is generated:
