G7 Commands: U

(up)date <series_name>

This routine works like the data command but instead updates an existing series. The data following the command contain only the data points to be changed. The updated series is placed in the workspace only. Note that if you skip values as in the example below, then they will be assigned as missing values.

Example:

update um
  1994.1  34.2 35.3
  1995.1  37.0
  1997.1  38.

You later can interpolate the missing values for a series by using the @lint function.
