Operationally valid data that is used for control charting has t                                                          he variable CHART=Y
Explanations of TMC Validity Codes (VAL) can be found at:
http://tmc.astm.cmri.cmu.edu/refdata.html
Note, that operationally invalid data does not receive the same                                                           level of review
as operationally valid data from the TMC and should be used
with CAUTION !!!!!! 
Note: Tests showing a Z suffix on the CMIR or OILCODE are 
tests the TMC has received as corrections but have not yet
reviewed and processed 
LAB and INSTRUID have been coded by the TMC
using LTMSLAB and LTMSAPP, respectively
