GDDM-PGF V2R1.3 Interactive Chart Utility
SC33-0328-01

You cannot make charts without data. Usually, the ICU will not do anything until you give it some data to work with. Occasionally, the ICU will create a chart when you have not given it any data. It has probably picked up data that you have forgotten to clear away. In this case, the chart you get is unlikely to be the one you want.

If you always get your data first, you should have few problems.

You can get data in lots of ways:

Sets of sample data are provided with the ICU.
There is one set that is suitable for all chart types. Other sets are particularly suitable for one chart type only. Appendix H, "Sample data" in topic H.0 shows the sample sets.
Type in your own data.
If you are not sure what goes where, get a sample set and use it as a guide. (You cannot harm the sample set.)
Get the data from one chart and create a different chart with it.
Use data someone else typed in.
Import data from a file on your host computer.
Import data from a file on an IBM PC.
