DATA= rest-of-statement

variables. If no text is supplied after the keyword DATA=, then NCL supplies a
null value.
Note DATA, if specified, must be the last keyword in this verb.

After FROM, you must code one of the operands: ARGS, MDO, or VARS. These
operands are described next.
ARGS
specifies a range of variables. See “Frequently Occurring Operands,” at the
beginning of this section, for more information.
RANGE=( start , end )
determines the range of variables specified by the ARGS operand. See

information.
MDO= variable-name
specifies the variable-name of the source MDO that provides the input data.
VARS
