Planning your chart
You can see from the example on the previous page that you would need to plan
your chart.
1. 
Look at your printstream data and establish the type of chart and fields you
require.
2. 
Create and fill your fields for your chart’s attributes, values and labels.
You can then add your chart and data values as described on the following pages.
 
TIP: 
When you set the number of characters to fill a field for a chart value,
allow for the maximum and minimum characters that there might be in a value. This
of course depends on the content of your printstream data.
For example, in the MileSaver statement,  the maximum value for miles earned in a
month can reach 100,000 (7 characters, including the comma) but cannot exceed 7
characters (more than 999,999).
