CONFORM and NONCONFORM Subcommands (SPCHART command)

Either CONFORM or NONCONFORM is required when you specify a status variable on the P or NP subcommand. You make that specification when data are organized so that each case is an inspection unit (see ).

• Either subcommand requires a value specification. The value can be numeric or string. String values must be enclosed within quotes.
• If CONFORM is specified, all values for the status variable (other than the specified value) are tabulated as nonconformities. If NONCONFORM is specified, only the specified value is tabulated as a nonconformity.
• CONFORM and NONCONFORM apply only to P and NP chart specifications.
