Details

When you replay GRSEG entries in a template, the GREPLAY procedure creates and stores graphics output in the designated output catalog.

You can replay multiple entries in one TREPLAY statement as shown here:

treplay 1:plot1 2:plot2 3:chart1;

PLOT1 is placed in panel 1 of the current template. PLOT2 is placed in panel 2. CHART1 is placed in panel 3. Specify the entry name or entry number.
