in the manual, Creating Reports w/ the language, on page 1148 is the following code

GRAPH FILE SHORT
SUM PROJECTED_RETURN AS 'Return on Investment'
BY HOLDER
ACROSS CONTINENT
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH 3D_BAR
ON GRAPH SET GRAPHEDIT SERVER
END

In the book, the picture shows 2 rows of bars.
When i run this code, i get 2 grafs, 1 set of bars each.
When i try to create this in the gui, i see no place to enter a 2nd axis for 3d grafs.
Would someone be kind enough to run this code and see what they get?
And then buy me a vowel?
Thanks ever so.

aha.
update
the following line of critical code was omitted from the manual
SET GRMERGE=ON
that solves issue 1
issue 2: where in the gui do i specify the 2nd axis ??

Can you please specfy which Graph Assistant tool you are using?

Thanks!

Without going into graph assist and checking this, you should have 3 input areas, one is the sum (or count) the other 2 are your by and across. The sum/count is one axis the by/across are the other. The checkbox for graph merge is what causes the depth. You will need both a by and an across to have more than one row deep and a sum/count to have more than one row wide.

VLozovsky, i've tried both, GA and AdvGA from DevStu
PB, 'going in to the gui' would be the purpose of my question. I can't find a place to specify the 2nd axis in either tool. what am i missing?

I am running 762 HF3 so this should work for you. I did this in the GUI for the Graph Assistand (Adv assistant not working in our Unix env. at the moment.

On the Field selection tab, add a value for the "create a separate graph for each value of this field" section. Expand the options for that field and click the radio button that says "merge graphs into a single graph". That generates the GRMERGE syntax.

For the Advanced assistant, I did do this in the GUI in an earlier release (where it was working). Look up 'advanced merge' and you should find something on how to make it work in the GUI. Sorry I can't do that for you.

Susannah,

Just for you, I started to go into Dev Studio and discovered that when they replaced my computer I had never re-loaded it.

So, I went into MRE and did a graph assistant, and I think we have all misunderstood your question.

On the Graph Types page, under "Select from the following graph types" choose 3D, then under "Select from the following Graph Styles" choose Bar. On the field selection page you will need to have fields in all of the boxes and the "Merge graphs into a single graph" checked.
