HOLD the results of the SQL Passthru query and then do your graph using the held data.

Either put a decode on your SQL statement to mark JAN as 01, FEB as 02 and so on or do a define field. Here's a sample.

DEFINE FILE EMPDATA
MN/M=DATECVT(HIREDATE, 'YMD', 'M');
END

GRAPH FILE EMPDATA
SUM CNT.PIN
ACROSS MN
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH VBAR

Try using the Search button and do a search on graph and month or date or some combination and see what you can come up with.
