Use AIM's Data Display. There is a command line version as well - histdisp. = Type: = histdisp<cr> = at the command line to give you dialog box with the arguments. An example used at a user group some years ago was as follows, this is on a Windows client, but dropping the .exe on the command should make it work just fine on Solaris: = histdisp.exe -NM=3D"Example Report" -T1=3D"TRENDVARS:FIC3915.PNT" -H1=3Dhis= t01 -S1=3D01AW01 -T2=3D"TRENDVARS:LIC3901.PNT" -H2=3Dhist01 -S2=3D01AW01 -T3=3D"TRENDVARS:PIR3922.PNT" -H3=3Dhist01 -S3=3D01AW01 -T4=3D"TRENDVARS:TIC3908.PNT" -H4=3Dhist01 -S4=3D01AW01 -SD=3D"03/03/2005" -SH=3D14 -SM=3D00 -TS=3D"6 hrs" -IT=3D"30 mins" -DT=3Dlinear -OF=3D"ReportOutput.txt" Hope this helps.

In the past I've used the ace reports to print out things that were in reduction groups, but in this case I want the raw values, and it doesn't look like the ace reports will work. Any idea on how I can do this? The points an in the AIM historian if that makes any difference.
