Project Data Set

The PM Procedure

Project Data Set

The Project data set is used to save and restore preferences that control the project view. The following preferences can be saved from one invocation to another:

text font
time increment
time units
major time axis format
minor time axis format
schedule bars displayed (for example, Actual, Baseline, and so forth)
chart grid
chart scale
table column widths
table column order
Table View-Gantt View dividing line
activity filters
activity level
project summary
window dimensions

The Project data set uses three variables to save the preference information:

PROJATTR -- contains a keyword identifying the project attribute; each attribute has either a numeric value or a character value. The length of this variable is 8.
PRATNVAL -- used for numeric data corresponding to the attribute.
PRATCVAL -- used for character data corresponding to the attribute. The length of this variable is 200.

Note that the Project data set is used internally by the PM procedure and is not designed to be altered or edited directly. Its contents may not be meaningful except to the PM procedure.
