GRAPHHIGHLOW.RPF

GRAPHHIGHLOW.RPF uses GRAPH with STYLE=VERTICAL to do a high-low-close graph.

It uses three DATA instructions, one to get the maximum, one the minimum and one the final value during the year. Since each DATA instruction will reset SPDJI, the data are copied to a new series name after each. The “close” series should be listed on the first supplementary card so it gets tagged with a special symbol. For this graph, we look at results from 1982 through 2006.
