Brilliant. We have had HISTOGRM for years, but it shows record
lengths only within a range, which must be at least 4.
Sample Histogram:
COUNT MIN MAX
3 16 19
3 24 27
5 44 47
Sample with new control statements:
19 3
25 3
44 1
46 1
47 3
Totals are the same, but the exact record
lengths are totaled, not an arbitrary range.
