the variable must be dichotomous or trichotomous. If dichotomous, the first
value defines low and the second value defines high; if trichotomous, the first
value defines high, the second defines low and the third defines close (see
Figure 35 to Figure 37).
GROUPED Grouped high-low-close chart. A grouped high-low-close chart is defined by
a single function and two BY variables or by multiple functions and a single
BY variable. When a variable list is used for a single function, the list must
contain two or three variables. If it contains two variables, the first defines the
high value, and the second defines the low value. If it contains three variables,
the first defines the high value, the second defines the low value, and the third
defines the close value. Likewise, if multiple functions are specified, they
must be either in groups of two or in groups of three. The first function defines
the high value, the second defines the low value, and the third, if specified,
defines the close value (see Figure 38 and Figure 39).

You can specify three variables with one summary function or three summary functions
each with one variable. The line represents the close or average series defined by the function.
If you specify only two, they are used as high and low values.

The second BY variable must be dichotomous or trichotomous. If dichotomous, the first value
defines the high and the second value defines the low value. If trichotomous, the first value
defines the high value, the second value defines the low, and the last value defines the close.
