SB_TO_SP.DOC
This program shows how to use SBPro's ARexx interface to send data to
another ARexx compatible program.
In this example, SBPro loads a data file, sends the data from the
specified field in that file to SuperPlan, our spreadsheet program,
and then tells SuperPlan to draw a pie graph of the data.
To run, first load SuperPlan, then load SBPro. Load the SB_TO_SP DML
program and run it. It will load the file GRAPHTHIS1 and perform the
operations. You can add and subtract values from the data file to see
how the output changes. To see SuperPlan's output, move your windows
and screens around so that you can see SuperPlan's output screen.
If you don't have SuperPlan, you can't run this program, but look at
it anyway if you are interested in ARexx. The concepts are portable to
other programs besides SuperPlan.
