SYNOPSIS

      histDisplay <-p plot alias> <-d YY-MM-DD>
                  <-h history alias>

DESCRIPTION

      histDisplay is an rtsh(1) script for  extracting  archived  historical
      data,  previously  archived  using hist2csv(1), and displaying it in a
      plot. This script assumes that the historical tables have not changed.
      For  example,  the current item number for "AI 1024.current value" has
      not changed in the history table.

      The -p argument specifies the RTAP plot alias to use  to  display  the
      extracted historical data.

      The -d argument specifies the date for which the  archived  historical
      data is to be retrieved from.

      The -h  argument  specifies  the  alias  of  the  historical  data  to
      retrieve.

      The -P argument specifies the plot display name to use when displaying
      the  historical  data. If this is not specified, RtapPlotDisp, will be
      used.

      The -i argument specifies the directory where the archived  historical
      files are kept. The default is the current working directory.

      The -t argument specifies the  title  to  use  on  the  plot  that  is
      displayed. The default is what was in the plot point.

      The -n argument specifies the pen number to use. The  default  is  pen
      zero.

      The -v flag indicates to print verbose messages to stdout.

DIAGNOSTICS

      histDisplay logs error messages to stdout.
