You can save probability limits and related information in an output data set by specifying the OUTLIMITS= option in a CHART statement. Table 16.5 lists the variables that an OUTLIMITS= data set contains.

When the probability limits are based on an exponential distribution, the OUTLIMITS= data set contains the variables _SIGMA_
and _THETA_
. When the probability limits are based on a geometric distribution, the OUTLIMITS= data set contains the variables _P_
and _SHIFT_
.
You can save process measurements, probability limits, and related information in an output data set by specifying the OUTTABLE= option in a CHART statement. Table 16.6 lists the variables that an OUTTABLE= data set contains.
