Determining the Dimensions of an Expression

You can find out the dimensions of an expression by issuing a PARSE statement, followed by the INFO function. PARSE evaluates the text of an expression; the INFO indicates how the expression is interpreted.

This example illustrates the use of the DIMENSION keyword with the INFO function to retrieve the dimensions of the expression just analyzed by PARSE. Assume that you issue the following statement.

PARSE 'TOTAL(sales region)'

The statement produces the following output.

SHOW INFO(PARSE DIMENSION)
REGION
