Presumably you were talking about the complexity of the algebra here but a
simpler way is to do the implicit blend with multiple element statements:
ELEMENT: schema(position(bin.quantile.letter("a"*a)), label(id))
ELEMENT: schema(position(bin.quantile.letter("b"*b)), label(id))
ELEMENT: schema(position(bin.quantile.letter("c"*c)), label(id))
...

Hi All,
I am a big fan of GPL, but the GPL is this case might seem
complicated. One of the best ways requires a "blend".
First this is a stripped down version of what you paste when you do a
one variable boxplot from chartbuilder. A boxplot of variable 'a'
* Chart Builder.
GGRAPH
/GRAPHDATASET NAME="graphdataset" VARIABLES=a[LEVEL=SCALE] MISSING=
LISTWISE REPORTMISSING=NO
/GRAPHSPEC SOURCE=INLINE.
BEGIN GPL
SOURCE: s=userSource(id("graphdataset"))
DATA: a=col(source(s), name("a"))
COORD: rect(dim(1), transpose())
ELEMENT: schema(position(bin.quantile.letter(a)))
END GPL.
Here is the syntax that you would need to do 5 variables, a thru e.
* Chart Builder.
GGRAPH
/GRAPHDATASET NAME="graphdataset" VARIABLES=a b c d e
MISSING=LISTWISE REPORTMISSING=NO
/GRAPHSPEC SOURCE=INLINE.
BEGIN GPL
SOURCE: s=userSource(id("graphdataset"))
DATA: a=col(source(s), name("a"))
DATA: b=col(source(s), name("b"))
DATA: c=col(source(s), name("c"))
DATA: d=col(source(s), name("d"))
DATA: e=col(source(s), name("e"))
ELEMENT:
schema(position(bin.quantile.letter("a"*a+"b"*b+"c"*c+"d"*d+"e"*e)))
END GPL.
I hope this doesn't talk anyone out of GPL. It is usually simpler, and
everything, it seems, is moving in the GPL direction.
