PERCENT ACCEPTABLE

Name:
    PERCENT ACCEPTABLE (LET)
Type:
    Let Subcommand
Purpose:
    Compute the percentage of acceptable values for a variable.
Description:
    The percent defective is the number of values of a variable (expressed as a percentage) that fall outside some user specified tolerance limits. Similiarly, the percent acceptable is the number of values (expressed as a percentage) that fall within some user specified tolerance limits.
Syntax:
    LET <par> = PERCENT ACCEPTABLE <x>
                            <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification>
    where <x> is the variable for which the percent acceptable is computed;
                <par> is a parameter where the computed percentage acceptable is saved;
    and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional.
Examples:
    LET A = PERCENT ACCEPTABLE Y1
    LET A = PERCENT ACCEPTABLE Y1 SUBSET TAG > 2
Note:
    The upper and lower specification limits must be specified by the user as follows:

      LET LSL = <value>
      LET USL = <value>
Default:
    None
