But using &var has to be one of the most common things to do in charts right? Can someone please post their WEHRE statement from a chart with a working gui using a &var.


This is just making less and less sense to me, or am I just going crazy?


Nicholas - How did you solve this? I'm having the exact same problem but I don't see the solution in this thread. Thanks.

The issue ended up being in the WHERE statement. The Chart code uses different syntax. It expects explicit statement of the field type something like: 
WHERE DM.DM.Date_Calendar_Month_YYYYMM GE &YM_START. (|FORMAT=I6).QUOTEDSTRING;


Try to use the GUI to get a couple of examples and then try to replicate that from the editor. If I recall correctly the chart component was still broken after I fixed the code. after I created a new chart component and copied the code over the GUI was working again.

Hope this helps and can prevent some headache.
