One note on this:  what CF (consolidation function) are you using on the 
RRA?  Probably AVERAGE.  If you tell PRINT to show the MIN or MAX, what 
you're getting is the min or max of the averaged values.  What you need to 
do, if you want to see real min and max is store, in addition to the 
AVERAGE RRA, two more RRAs using MIN and MAX, and print from the 
appropriate one for min and max.
