OLAP DML programs are written using the internal language of analytic workspaces. You can use them to create, manipulate, and populate the physical data storage objects that reside in an analytic workspace. These objects support the multidimensional database objects such as cubes, measures, cube dimensions, attributes, and hierarchies.
You can execute a program by referencing it in a calculated measure, a build specification, or another OLAP DML program. All user-defined programs in the current analytic workspace are listed in the OLAP DML Programs folder.
Name: The name of the program, consisting of 1 to 64 alphanumeric characters, underscores, or periods. Do not use an underscore as the first character. (Required)
Description: A description of the program, which you can modify at any time. (Optional)
Return Type: Describes the return value of the program. Choose one of the following:
Data Type: Select the data type of the value returned by the program.
Dimension: Select the dimension whose values are returned by the program.
None: The program does not return a value.
