Hello all.
I am a returner to Minitab Macros, and a novice at that.
I am wanting to resurect a Macro that was created in 2014 which will not run because versions of Minitab have changed and commands have been removed.
To re-learn the code I have started writing the macro again from scratch, and got stuck at what seems a simple point.
In the code below you can see I ask the user for input to run a Sixpack, and then ask questions about the results.
The Sixpack graph is not appearing until the macro has ended and all the questions have been asked, the last two of which cannot be answered without seeing the Sixpack.
What is used to get the Sixpack graph on the screen when it is run in the same order as the code?
I hope you can help, and thanks in anticipation.
