MPLOT Command-Used with One and Multiple Variables

Use the MPLOT command to produce a vertical plot similar to the one produced by the VPLOT command. The difference is that MPLOT prints only the outline of the columns.

MPLOT allows you to request multiple variables on the same report.

Example: Using Variables with the MPLOT Command

Using One Variable with the MPLOT Command
The following example uses the MPLOT command to plot terminal response times:
```
MPLOT TRAN USE SCALE(50)
  EACH 5 MINUTES
  FROM 12/07/08 00:00:00
  TO   12/07/08 23:59:59
END
RUN
```

A report like the following is generated:

SHIFT NONE EACH 5 MINUTES TRANSACTION COUNT PERIOD NONE TRAN TRAN USE USE -------- ------ 50 I I 50 I I I I I I I I 44 I I 44 I I I X I I X I I X I 38 I X X X I 38 I X X X I I X X X X I I X X XXX I I X X X X X I 32 I X X X X X X I 32 I X X X X X X I I X X X X X X X X I I X X X X X X X X X I I X X X X X X X X X I 26 I X X X X X X X X X X X I 26 I X X X X X X X X X X X I I X X X X X X X X X X X X X I I X X X X X X X X X X X X X I I X X X X X X X X X X X X X I 20 I X X X X XX X X XX X XX X X X X X X X I 20 I X X X X X X X XX XX X X XX X X X XX X X X X X I I X X X X X X X X X X XX X XX XX X X X X X XX X X X X I I X X X X X X X X X X XX X XX XX X X X X X XX X X X X X I I X X X X X X X X X X XX X XX XX X X X X X X XX X X X X X I 14 I X X X XX X XX X X X X XX X XX XX X X X X X X XX X X XXX XX I 14 I X X X XX X XX X X X X XX X XX XX X X X X X X XX X X X X X X I AI---------X-X--X---XX-X----XX-X--X-X-X-XX-X-XX----XX---X--X-X---X-X----X-XX-X--------X--X--X------------X--X-X- I I X X X XX X XX X X X X XX X XX XX X X X X X X XX X XX X X X X X I I X X X XX X XX XX X X X X XX XX X XX XX X X X X X XX X X XX X X XXX X I 8 I X X X X X X X X X X X X XX X X X XX X X X X X XX X X X X XX X X X X X I 8 I X X X X X X X X X X X X XX XX X X X XX X XX X XX XX X X X X X X I I X X X X X X X XX X X XX XX X X X X X X X XX XX X X X X X X X I I X XX XX X X X X X X X X XX XX X X X X X X XX XX X X X X X X X I I X XX XX X X X X X X X X X X X X X X XX XX X X X XX X X X X I 0 II---------I---------I---------I---------I---------I---------I---------I---------I---------I---------I---------II 0 00:00 00:50 01:40 02:30 03:20 04:10 05:00 05:50 06:40 07:30 08:20 09:10 12/07 12/07 12/07 12/07 12/07 12/07 12/07 12/07 12/07 12/07 12/07 SYMBOLS: "X" = TRANSACTION COUNT

Using Two Variables with the MPLOT Command

The following example uses the MPLOT command to plot transaction use with Xs and terminal response time with Os:

MPLOT TRAN USE  SCALE(50)    CHAR1(X) AND,
      TERM RESP SCALE(1.000) CHAR1(O)
  EACH 5 MINUTES
  FROM 12/07/08 00:00:00
  TO   12/07/08 23:59:59
END
RUN

Using Three Variables with the MPLOT Command

The following commands add of a third variable, DATASET USE, which is plotted with plus signs (+):

FROM 12/07/08 00:00:00
TO   12/07/08 09:00:00
EACH 5 MINUTES
MPLOT TRAN USE    SCALE(50)    CHAR1(X) AND,
      TERM RESP   SCALE(1.000) CHAR1(O) AND,
      DATASET USE SCALE(75)    CHAR1(+)
END
RUN
