displayed. Now, if you enter S, the prompt "CHART NO. 2 CHART NAME:_,, is dis-
played, requesting you to input the next chart name. This prompt is repeated until all
the chart names are input. After all the chart names are input, input the appropriate
indicator values (ratio of ordinary profit to total liabilities and net worth, ratio of
operating profit to total liabilities and net worth, ... , inventory turnover period).
When C is entered, the data is input from CETL. In this case, the data table must have
been prepared by CETL. Now, when you specify the CETL file area from which the
data is to be fetched and the appropriate item number, the prompt "CHART NO. 2
CHART NAME: _" is displayed and repeated until all the chart names are input.
It is of course possible for you to input data for some charts from CETL and data for
other charts from the keyboard. In this case, the data input from the keyboard can be
added to the data stored in the CETL file (if you like). This is one of the most useful
features of the FP-200.
Example of Data Input
by
CETL
It is recommended that data will be input from a data table created using CETL. For
this purpose, first create a data table carrying titles, such as the one shown on page-·
Then create an indicator name table (see the same page) from the figures in the title
table. By using these data tables, it is pqssible to obtain the desired charts. As an
example, the procedure for preparing an indicator table is shwon below.
Preparing an indicator value table using CETL
Data Input and Output
The program can output a chart of 13 indicators in four different colors, as well as
indicator name and title tables. When no title is input, 0 is output in the associated
table. For input of performance figures, a routine is provided to permit correcting
erroneous data before printout.
As a reference, the equations for calculating the indicators used in this program are
given below.
