I played around with old stuff a while back. I believe it was ts4. I found
no good way to do what you want. What I did was to trick TS into believing
data was something that it wasn't. In my case I believe I was viewing annual
data, but it may have been quarterly. So what I did was to create a datafile
that had fake dates for the old stuff, so that they would look right, even
though their dates were wrong. For instance, let's say in TS I am creating a
monthly chart, but the data is ascii, quarterly with no data other than on
quarter end months. So TS sees it as a monthly chart with missing months.
Now, add the old data, going backward, using fake dates, a month for every
quarter. Very messy. And in retrospect, why did I waste time doing all this
back then, geezzzz...........
Somewhere I have some ELAs to create quarterly/annual ascii files from
monthly data if you want. The other thing to do is just to rewrite the dates
for a whole quarterly/annual file to months. Easy in excel...then just read
the ascii file.
