Opening the Demo Project
Opening the Demo Project

A project is available for you to use with the tutorials. Follow these steps to open the
demo project.
1 Start OFM.
2 On the Workspace tab, click Open.
The Open OFM Workspace window opens.
3 In the OFM application directory, select ...Sample Workspaces\
Demo 2012\Demo2012.ofm.
4 Select the file, and then click Open.
The demo project opens with the base map displayed.
You are now ready to work through the tutorials.
2-2 Plots
Tutorial: Creating and Editing Plots

You can create plots to graphically display the information in your project. Plots in OFM
are produced from stored data or from calculated results within the OFM project.
In this tutorial, you will:
1. Create a plot that displays data for a single completion
The simplest form of a line plot is a time-dependent display of monthly oil and gas
production for a selected completion. In this section of the tutorial, you create one.
2. Extend a plot to multiple Y-axes
You can extend the visualization capabilities of the plot.
3. Extend a plot to multiple graphs
You can create up to six graphs in any single OFM plot. In this section of the
tutorial, you add graphs to a plot. You will prepare the following graphs: Oil versus
Time, Oil versus Cum Oil, Water Cut versus Time, and Water Cut versus Cum
Water. All the graphs do not have to use the same X-axis variable.
4. Create a plot displaying data for a single variable for multiple completions
One way to compare the performance of several entities is to display their data on
the same plot. In this section, you display data for a single variable for multiple
completions.
5. Edit plot headers
Headers are titles or labels that display on the plot. Headers provide information
about the entity that is currently selected. In this section, you place a simple text
title at the top of the plot. Below the text title, you place a dynamic title that
displays the name of the completion. The dynamic title changes as the selected
entity (in this case, the selected completion) changes.
6. Use categories to display different levels of information
You can configure plots to display data at more than one level. In this section, you
use categories in the plots to compare the performance of an individual completion
with the performance of the reservoir from which it produces.
7. Export a plot template
After you have prepared a plot, you can save the attributes of the plot (but not the
data) to an external file as a template. With the template, you can share the
attributes with a colleague while keeping the data confidential. Your colleague can
import the template (a .grf file) into their project, and their plot will have the same
structure as the original, plotting the same variable names but applied to the set of
wells in their project.
8. Import a plot template
Plot Tutorials 2-3

To Create a Plot that Displays Data for a Single Completion

The simplest form of a line plot is a time-dependent display of monthly oil and gas
production for a selected completion. In this section of the tutorial, you create one.
1 Open the demo project.
2 On the Navigation pane, select the Blue_1:He_0 completion.
3 On the Home tab, in the Launch analysis group, click Plot.
The Edit Plot window opens.
4 Notice that the X-Axis Variable is set to Date by default.
5 In the table, click the first cell in the Variables column and then select
Monthlyprod.Oil.
6 Click Add Curve.
A new row is added.
7 Click the new cell in the Variables column and then select Monthlyprod.Gas.
8 Click OK.
The plot (with default attributes) opens.
9 On the Workspace tab, click Save to save your work.
To Extend a Plot to Multiple Y-Axes

You can extend the visualization capabilities of the plot.
1 The curves that display on the primary vertical axis (Y-Axis 1) have been defined.
To add an additional Y-axis,on the Format tab, in the Edit group, click Variables.
2 On the right, in the Y Axis group, set the Number of Axes to 2.
3 Set the Current Axes to Y-AXIS 2.
Observe that the Variables list area is empty, because it is for Y-axis 2.
4 In the first row, click the cell in the Variables column and then select Water.Cut.
5 Click OK.
By default, the second Y-axis is on the right side of the graph. You can adjust the
attributes of this axis (for example, linear scale, maximum and minimum values,
and so on) by selecting the axis and then making changes on the Property pane,
under Axis.
Note: You can create up to six Y-axes per graph (and up to six graphs) in a single
OFM plot. By default, the even-numbered Y-axes are placed on the right
side of the graph, and the odd-numbered Y-axes are placed on the
left side.
2-4 Plots
To Extend a Plot to Multiple Graphs

You can create up to six graphs in any single OFM plot. In this section of the tutorial,
you add graphs to a plot. You will prepare the following graphs: Oil versus Time, Oil
versus Cum Oil, Water Cut versus Time, and Water Cut versus Cum Water. All the
graphs do not have to use the same X-axis variable.
1 Create a new plot: On the Home tab, in the Launch analysis group, click Plot.
2 On the right, in the Graph group, set the Number of Graphs to 4.
3 Because you selected a number greater than or equal to 4, a message asks if
graphs should be overlapped. Select Yes or No.
Depending on your choice, the four graphs are positioned by default in the Plot
window as shown below:
Overlap = Yes Overlap = No
4 First, work with Graph 1:

a. In the Graph group (on the right) set the Current Graph to GRAPH 1.
b. In the X-Axis group (at the top), leave Date as the X-axis variable.
c. Click the cell on the first row, in the Variables column, and then select
Monthlyprod.Oil as the Y-axis variable.
5 Next, work with Graph 2:
a. In the Graph group, change the Current Graph to GRAPH 2.
b. In the X-Axis group, set the X-axis variable to Oil.Cum.
Monthlyprod.Oil as the Y-axis variable.
6 Then, work with Graph 3:
b. In the X-Axis group, set the X-axis variable to Date.
Water.Cut as the Y-axis variable.
7 And lastly, work with Graph 4:
Plot Tutorials 2-5

b. In the X-Axis group, set the X-axis variable to Water.Cum.

Water.Cut as the Y-axis variable.
8 Click OK.
Notice the layout of the plot. Usually, you will want to set the X-axis variables on
the second and fourth plots to linear.
9 On the plot, click directly on the X-axis scale (the horizontal line).
Handle marks display at both ends and in the middle, confirming that this is the
object you want to adjust.
10 On the Property pane, under Axis, expand Scale.
11 Set Scale Type to Linear.
To Create a Plot Displaying Data for a Single Variable for Multiple Completions
One way to compare the performance of several entities is to display their data on the
same plot. In this section, you display data for a single variable for multiple
completions.
2 On the X-Axis Variable field, select Date.
3 Click Add Multiple Curves.
The Add Multiple Curves window opens.
4 On the Category field, you select the level in the project at which you want to
display the data. Select Completion.
5 On the Variable field, you select the single variable whose data you want to
display for all completions. Select Monthlyprod.Oil.
Note: If your current filter contains more than 50 entities, you will receive a
message asking if you want to add the curves to your plot. Click Yes.
6 On the Edit Plot window, click OK to display the plot.

The plot displays monthly oil production for the entities.
2-6 Plots
To Edit Plot Headers

Headers are titles or labels that display on the plot. Headers provide information about
the entity that is currently selected. In this section, you place a simple text title at the
top of the plot. Below the text title, you place a dynamic title that displays the name of
the completion. The dynamic title changes as the selected entity (in this case, the
selected completion) changes.
1 With your plot open, on the Format tab, in the Edit group, click Header.
The Headers window opens.
2 Click Add.
A blank row is inserted.
3 On the blank row, type "MY COMPANY"and then press Enter. When entering a text
string, you must use quotation marks around the text.
4 Click Add.
Another blank row is inserted.
5 On the new blank row, type "Completion" + @Loadname () and then press
Enter. The space immediately after the word completion is required to ensure
proper spacing.
6 Click OK.
The headers display on the plot.
7 (Optional) Drag the header to a new location on the plot.
8 On the Navigation pane, select other completions to see how the dynamic portion
of the header changes.
To Use Categories to Display Different Levels of Information

You can configure plots to display data at more than one level. In this section, you use
categories in the plots to compare the performance of an individual completion with the
performance of the reservoir from which it produces.
2 On the X-Axis Variable field, select Date.
3 Click the cell on the first row, in the Variables column, and then select
Monthlyprod.Oil.
Observe the entries in the next two columns: Category is set to Current, and
Name is set to correspond to the entity (in other words, completion) you currently
have selected on the Navigation pane.
4 Click Add Curve.
A new row is added.
5 Click the cell on the new row, in the Variables column, and then select
Monthlyprod.Oil again.
Plot Tutorials 2-7

6 In the Category column for the second row, change the category to Reservoir.
By default, the entry in the Name column is CURRENT. Usually, this is the name
you will want, but it is possible to use this column to specify that this curve will be
for one particular reservoir.
7 Click OK.
8 On the Navigation pane, select other completions in your project to see how the
plot changes:
Curve 1 displays the monthly oil production for the selected completion.
Curve 2 displays the monthly oil production for the reservoir to which the
selected completion belongs.
To Export a Plot Template

After you have prepared a plot, you can save the attributes of the plot (but not the
data) to an external file as a template. With the template, you can share the attributes
with a colleague while keeping the data confidential. Your colleague can import the
template (a .grf file) into their project, and their plot will have the same structure as the
original, plotting the same variable names but applied to the set of wells in their project.
Note: The template will only be applicable to an OFM project which uses the same
variable names as the original project from which it was created.
1 On the Format tab, in the Utilities group, select Save Analysis > Save As.
2 Select an appropriate location and name for the file, including the .grf extension.
3 Click Save.
You now can send the file to your colleague.

Plot Tutorials 2-9

Tutorial: Auditing Plots

You can further enhance your analysis of plots with the trace, compute line, flag,
tabular report, and auto-print features. In this tutorial, you will:
1. Use the Trace Plot utility
Use this utility to mark or digitize a point anywhere on the plot. The marked point
remains visible while you scroll through other entities in the project. In this way,
the location of a particular data point (for example, the peak production for
completion A) can be visualized while viewing the same plot for other completions
(for example, B, C, and so on).
2. Use the Compute a Line utility
With OFM, you can determine the equation of a straight line fit through a region
you define on your plot. As with the trace point feature, you can lock this line to
compare the curve it represents with other entities.
3. Print (Auto Print) the plot
There are two ways to print. If you use the normal printing method, the plot for the
currently-selected entity is printed. If you use Auto Print, you can print or save as
graphic files in a batch process, for the plots for all completions in the current filter.
4. Flag a completion
While viewing plots for each completion in your project, you may want to
investigate further one or more completions. You can mark (or, flag) completions
and later you can return to the flagged completions as a separate collection.
5. Send a plot to a tabular report
You can transform the display of data from a graphical format (a plot) to a tabular
format (a report).
2-10 Plots
To Get Started with This Tutorial

For this tutorial, you need a plot. If you have already created plots while doing the
"Creating and Editing Plots" tutorial, you can use one of those. If you have not
completed that tutorial, follow these steps to create a quick plot:
1 Open the demo project.
3 Notice that the X-Axis Variable is set to Date by default.
4 In the table, click the first cell in the Variables column and then select
Monthlyprod.Oil.
5 Click Add Curve.
A new row is added.
6 Click the new cell in the Variables column and then select Monthlyprod.Gas.
7 Click OK.
The plot opens.
8 On the Workspace tab, click Save Workspace to save your work.
To Use the Trace a Plot Utility

Use this utility to mark or digitize a point anywhere on the plot. The marked point
remains visible while you scroll through other entities in the project. In this way, the
location of a particular data point (for example, the peak production for completion A)
can be visualized while viewing the same plot for other completions (for example, B, C,
and so on).
1 With the plot open, on the Navigation pane select the
Blue_1:Li_1C completion.
There is a spike in oil production in 1980 (circled in the
graphic). You want to monitor this event while viewing
other completions in the project.
2 On the Format tab, in the Utilities group, click
Trace Plot.
3 Click one time at the point where there is a spike in
production.
4 On the Format tab, in the Display group, click
Lock Trace.
You should now see a small mark at the selected point.
5 Select another completion with a production history
coincident with the previous completion (for example,
Blue_5:Li_1C is a good choice).
Observe how the location of the spike in production for
completion Blue_1:Li_1C is marked on the plot
for Blue_5:Li_1C.
Plot Tutorials 2-11

Note: To change the color, shape, and size of the mark symbol, on the Format
tab, in the Utilities group, click Trace/line Attributes. To remove the
mark and disable the utility, in the Display group, clear the Lock Trace
check box.
To Use the Compute Line Utility

With OFM, you can determine the equation of a straight line fit through a region you
define on your plot. As with the trace point feature, you can lock this line to compare
the curve it represents with other entities.
1 On the Navigation pane, select the Blue_5:Li_1C completion.
2 Set the Y-axis to logarithmic:
a. On the plot, click the Y-axis scale.
Handle marks display at both ends and in the
middle, confirming that this is the object you want
to adjust.
b. On the Property pane, under Axis, expand Scale.

c. Set Scale Type to Logarithmic.
There is a strong decline period in oil production from
1973 to 1978. (See marked region in graphic.) You want
to monitor this decline while viewing other completions
in the project.
3 On the Format tab, in the Utilities group, click
Compute Line.
4 On the plot, drag a representative straight line through
the decline period.
Observe the information at the bottom of the OFM
window. If the plot is a semi log, the relevant equation of
the line will be similar to the following:
5 On the Format tab, in the Utilities group, click Lock Line.

The line is frozen.
6 On the Navigation pane, select another completion with a production history
coincident with the previous completion (for example, Blue_1:Li_1C is a
good choice).
The location of the locked line (which represents the declining oil production for
completion Blue_5:Li_1C) is highlighted on the plot for Blue_1:Li_1C.
Note: To change the color, shape, and size of the line, on the Format tab, in the
Utilities group, click Trace/line Attributes. To remove the mark and
disable the utility, clear the Lock Line check box.
2-12 Plots
To Print (Auto Print) Plot Views

There are two ways to print. If you use the normal printing method, the plot for the
currently-selected entity is printed. If you use Auto Print, you can print or save as
graphic files in a batch process, for the plots for all completions in the current filter.
1 On the Workspace tab, click Auto Print.
2 To print the plot for each of the completions in the current filter, select Printer and
then click Print.
3 To save each of the plots as an image file (such as .bmp, .jpg, and .tiff), select
Print to multiple files, select a naming scheme for the output files, and then
click Print.
To Flag a Completion
While viewing plots for each completion in your project, you may want to investigate
further one or more completions. You can mark (or, flag) completions and later you can
return to the flagged completions as a separate collection.
1 When you see a plot that requires further investigation, on the Home tab,
select Flag well.
2 When you are finished reviewing the plots and you want to investigate the flagged
completions, on the Filter pane, click Filter by Completion ( ).
The Filter by Completion window opens.
3 Click Select Flagged.
4 Click OK.
The Filter pane now shows that your Current Filter contains only the
flagged completions.
To Send a Plot to a Tabular Report

You can transform the display of data from a graphical format (a plot) to a tabular
format (a report).
1 On the Format tab, in the Utilities group, click Send to Report.
The report opens, displaying the data that was displayed on Graph 1 of the plot.
2 You can edit the attributes of the report on the Property pane.

Overview of Plots
Overview of Plots
A plot is a template with two-dimensional XY graphs. A graph can represent any of your
variables, in a colorful, customized format. One plot can have up to six graphs.
When you create or edit a plot, you can:
Accept the default X-axis variable or change it
Select plot variables from a list
Choose the number of graphs that display on the plot
Choose the number of Y-axes for each graph
After you create a plot, you can change the curves and axes, and display
multiple graphs:
Add, hide, and remove curves
Add up to six Y-axes to the graphs
Display up to six graphs, and then focus on a single graph on a plot
You also can change the way the plot displays:
Change the axis label, tics, lines on the grid, scale, and origin
Change the graphical attributes of the curve
Customize every graph's position and size
Make changes to the legend
Create headers for a title
While working with plots, you can view the data in different ways:
View plot data in a report
View the data values for every plotted point
Change the plot type to stacked, sum, or average
Use a trace point or trace line to highlight data points on the graph
Remove data points that have a specific value (for example, if you want to remove
all data points that have OFM's null value)
For clarity, show the plot curves in reverse order or below the X-axis as a negative
curve (for example, to see injection below the axis, and production above the axis)
For intraday plots, you can change the data frequency of a curve to a different time
aggregation (for example, quarterly)

arrow) for the type of analysis.
A gallery of pre-formatted options displays.
2 Click an item in the gallery.
You are ready to select the variables and other options.

Creating and Editing Plots

There are two types of plots:
Regular plot: Has multiple curves for one well
Multiple curves plot: Has one curve (the same variable) for multiple entities
Below are the steps for creating a plot. You also can create plots:
From the gallery, which have the formatting already applied to them
From the catalog, which have the variables and formatting already applied to them
To Create a Quick Regular Plot

Follow these steps to create a quick plot with one graph, with Date for the X-axis, and
one Y-axis.
1 To begin:
To create a new plot: On the Home tab, in the Launch analysis group,
click Plot.
To edit an existing plot: With the plot open, on the Format tab, in the Edit
group, click Variables.
2 The middle section of the window lists the curves on the Y-axis. On the first row, in
the Variables column, select a variable from the list of variables for the Y-axis.
3 When you are finished, click OK. (Or see the next procedure for a more-
complex plot.)
Your plot displays a curve of data for the entity you select on the Navigation pane.
For example, if you select a well, the plot displays data for the well. If you select a
reservoir, the plot displays data for the reservoir.
To Create a More-Complex Regular Plot

The previous steps will create a quick regular plot. On the Edit Plot window, you can
make other changes to it.
1 If you do not have the Edit Plot window open: With the plot open, on the Format
tab, in the Edit group, click Variables.
2 To add and remove curves:
To show or hide a variable, select or clear the check box next to the variable on
the list.
To add a curve, click Add Curve to add a new line in the list of variables, and
then select a variable.
To apply a fixed filter on the curve, select a Category and Name. When you
do this, only entities with the selected category and name will display. For
example, if you select the Completion category, and the Well-A name, then the
curve data will be only for Well-A in the Completion category even if you select
a different completion on the Navigation pane.
To remove a curve, select the name of the curve you want to remove (not the
check box) and then click Remove Curve.

of Graphs you want to display.
If you have more than one graph displayed, select the graph you want to
modify on the Current Graph list. All modifications you make will affect the
current graph, and not the other graphs.
4 To change the X-axis variable:
By default, OFM selects Date as the X-axis variable. To change the X-axis
variable, select a new X-Axis Variable from the list.
Note: The data points are connected according to time. If the X-axis is not a
date, you should connect the data points for the X-axis variable.
The X-axis variable multiplier displays the database units selected for the field.
To change this for only the current plot, select a new Multiplier.
Note: If you change the Multiplier, it is changed for this instance. If you close
the plot and reopen it, the multiplier will be the one set on the
Variable Editor.

Resolving Missing Data When Using Stacking, Summing, or Averaging Options
Resolving Missing Data When Using Stacking, Summing, or

Averaging Options
If you display plot data as a stacked, summed, or averaged plot, you must specify how
OFM should handle situations when discrete data values are not available. The
following methods are available for stacking or summing plot data.
If you choose For this type of This happens...

this method... plot display...
Interpolation Stacked When a discrete data point is missing, OFM

linearly interpolates a value between the
data points on either side of the missing
value. For example, if you have data points
at 1 and 3, OFM linearly interpolates
between these points and adds a point at 2
when creating a stacked plot.
Sum or Average OFM does not interpolate beyond the last

discrete data point for a curve in the data
set. As a result, the last data point plotted on
a summed plot may be less than the
previous plotted point.
Carry Forward Stacked If a discrete data point is missing, OFM

carries the current value until it encounters
the next discrete data point. For example, if
you have data points at 1 and 3, OFM plots
points at 1, 1, and 3 when creating a stacked
plot.
Sum or Average OFM carries the value of the last discrete

data point on a curve being summed or
averaged to the end of the data set.
Follow these steps to apply a plot type. You can apply different plot types (Regular,
Stacked, Sum, Average, or Percent) to each of the different Y-axes. For example, the
first Y-axis can be Regular, and the second Y-axis can be Stacked.
1 With the plot open, on the Format tab, in the Display group, click Regular,
Stacked, Sum, Average, or Percent.
Note: If you apply this condition to the plot, you can include the condition in the
legend. On the Property pane, under Legend, change Show Condition
to Yes.
2 To change the method OFM uses when discrete data values are not available:
a. On the plot, click the axis.
b. On the Property pane, under Axis, select a Method (interpolation or
carry forward).

Fill empty cells with the value of the last non-null value (that is, carry forward the
last known value). If you select this option, you enter the maximum number of
times you want to do this. For example, if you believe the last known value is valid
for three months, and you want to carry this value forward into empty fields, select
this option and then enter 3 for the maximum number of times you want to do this.
Setting input and output multipliers
Input multiplier is the multiplier for the data in the field. This is the number
that the value will be multiplied by, to get a base value. For example, if it is oil
data in thousands of barrels, you can select M. If it is oil data in barrels, you
can select 1. If it is gas production data in mcf, you can select M.
Output multiplier is the multiplier for the way you want to see the data in
your plots, reports, and other analyses. For example, if it is oil data in
thousands of barrels (that is, the input variable is M), but you want to see it
displayed in barrels, you can select 1.
Getting a group value, by sum or by average
Sum if you want to sum the data for a group. For example, use this if you want
to work with data for a collection of completions (such as a group).
Average if you want an arithmetic average the data for a group. For example,
you might use this if the field holds pressure data.
Multiply by factor if you want pattern factors applied to the field, or if you
want the variables specified on the Options window (on the Multiply by
Factor tab) to be applied to the field.
Limiting the range of data that can be loaded to the field
Minimum is the minimum value allowed to be loaded to the field. If the value
is below the minimum while loading data, that data will not be loaded.
Maximum is the maximum value allowed to be loaded into the field. If the
value is above the maximum while loading data, that data will not be loaded.
Default is the default value of the field that is loaded, if data for the field is
missing in a load file record, or if the data being loaded is outside the minimum
or maximum range.
Note: You cannot change some of the selections in the Math columns for
calculated and input variables in My Workspace, and you cannot make new
selections for variables in a Shared Workspace.
1 Open the Variable Editor:

If you are mapping input variables: On the Setup tab, in the Tables group,
click Schema > Schema Variable Editor.
The Variable Editor opens, and is filtered to show input variables.
4-6 Plots
If you are mapping calculated variables: On the Setup tab, in the Variable
Managers group, click Calculated Variable Editor.
The Variable Editor opens, and is filtered to show calculated variables.
2 By default, the definition columns display. If you want to hide them, click Define.
3 Click Math.
The math columns display.
4 In the Carry Forward Value column, select the check box if you want to fill empty
cells with the value of the last non-null value (that is, carry forward the last known
value). In the Carry Forward Times column enter the maximum number of times
you want to do this.
Note: If you enter 0 in the Carry Forward Times column, OFM will fill all empty
fields with the value. Usually this is not a good choice.
Caution: When you view results that are created with the Carry Forward feature,
you will not be able to identify the difference between results from real
data, and results from carried-forward data.
5 In the Output Multiplier column, select a multiplier for the way you want to
see the data in your plots, reports, and other output. Make sure to select the
correct multiplier.
6 In the Input Multiplier column, select a multiplier for the data in the field. This is
the number that the value will be multiplied by, to get a base value.
7 In the Grouping Option column, select whether you want to sum or average
individual data values to arrive at a group value.
8 In the Grouping Multiply-by Factor column, select the check box if you want
pattern factors applied to the variable, or if you want the variables specified on the
Options window to be applied to the variable.
9 If you want to limit the range of data that can be loaded (for input values only),
select the check box in the Validate Value on Import column.
The last three columns become active.
10 In the Import Validation Min. Value column, enter the minimum value allowed
to be loaded.
11 In the Import Validation Max. Value column, enter the maximum
value allowed.
12 In the Import Validation Default Value column, enter the default value if data
is missing in a load file record, or if the data being loaded is outside the minimum
or maximum range.
13 To hide the math columns, click Math again.
14 Click OK to save your changes and close the window, or make changes to other

@EquationGraphLine (Equation of a Locked Line) System Function
@EquationGraphLine (Equation of a Locked Line) System Function
Description This system function finds the equation of the line that is currently locked. It is
most-effectively used in a report or as a header.
Syntax @EquationGraphLine ( )
Where Argument Type Required Description

None
@EvalGraphLine (Evaluate Graph Line) System Function
Description This system function valuates a locked line at the specified value.
Syntax @EvalGraphLine (value)

value Numeric Yes X-axis value at which the current locked
line should be evaluated
5-2 Plots
@FmtDate (Format Date) System Function
@FmtDate (Format Date) System Function
Description This system function creates a string with a formatted date.
Syntax @FmtDate (date, "format")

date Date Yes The date to be reformatted
Note: OFM requires literal dates to be in
YYYYMMDD format.
"format" Text Yes The format of the date you wish to display
Example 1 In this example, if Test.Date is 19941128, the function returns the value of
1994-11-28:
@FmtDate ( Test.Date, " yyyy-mm-dd")
Example 2 The following alternative forms of the Month portion of the displayed date are
supported:
"mm" will return 11
"mmm" will return nov
"Mmm" will return Nov
"Mmmm" will return November
In this example, the function returns a value of November 28, 1994:
@FmtDate ( Test.Date, " Mmmm dd, yyyy")
Example 3 The system function also supports intra-day display:

HH formats the Hour
NN formats the Minute
SS formats the Second
TT allows for AM or PM
In this example, the function returns a value of November 28, 1994 12:00:00 AM:
@FmtDate (Test.Date, "Mmmm dd, yyyy hh:nn:ss tt")

@FmtName (Format Name) System Function
@FmtName (Format Name) System Function
Description This system function creates a string containing a numeric variables plot name,
units, multipliers, and a relevant value of an expression. This function is useful for
plot labels and report headers.
Syntax @FmtName (Variable, Value)

Variable Numeric Yes Numeric variable (project variable,
calculated variable) whose attributes are
to be used to create the string
Value Numeric Yes Numeric value to be included in the output
string
Example In this example, the function returns the plot name, unit, and output multiplier for
the numeric variable Prd.Oil, and the value of a numeric expression, combined in
one legible text string. It pulls together these pieces of information, and uses them
to create a very useful label for your plots and reports.
@FmtName (Prd.Oil, @Last(Prd.Oil))
Depending on how the variable has been defined, the example could produce the
following output text string: "Monthly Oil Production: 15.0 Mbbl"
Here, "Monthly Oil Production" was defined as the plot name for the variable
Prd.Oil. The variables units were set to bbl, and the output multiplier was set
to "M". The value of the current monthly production (15.0) was specified
using @Last(Prd.Oil)
@LoadName (Composite Name of Loaded Data) System Function
Description This system function finds the composite name of the currently loaded data. It
consists of a data prefix name and a data item name. It is useful in preparing
header information on plots and reports.
Note: To return the name without the prefix, use the @Name (Name of Loaded
Data Without Prefix) system function.
Syntax @LoadName ( )

None
Example If a completion X is the active entity, then the system function will return X.
If a Category (for example, Lease) is chosen from the Navigation pane, and
the Lease named Smith is selected as the chosen entity, then the system
function will return Lease: Smith.
