The
Create Set: Subordinate sets
screen for multi-dimension sets appears.
Make the following entries:
– Sets that you want to include in your multi-dimension set.
You can enter a basic, data, and/or single-dimension set that uses the same table as the multi-dimension set you are creating.
A set name is only unique within one set class. If you enter a set name that exists in two different set classes, the system displays a dialog box in which you select the set that you want to enter in the multi-dimension set.
You can also enter set variables in a multi-dimension set. The set variable must use the same table as the multi-dimension set you are creating.
If you want to use the multi-dimension set in a report, the order of your sets is important. The report displays the set values in the order that you enter them on the
Create Set: Basic Entries
screen.
You can enter sets that do not yet exist in your multi-dimension set. The system displays a dialog box, asking you if you want to create the set. You can then create the new set(s) and afterwards continue to maintain the original multi-dimension set.
This means that you do not have to create the sets that you want to include in your multi-dimension set before you actually create the multi-dimension set.
– Indicator that determines whether the Report Writer only prints the total for a specified row and not individual values.
When you use the set in a report, the system only prints the sum of the set row instead of the individual values of the set row.
– Format group for the set row
For more information, see setting format groups in sets .
– Symbolic name for the set row
For more information, see using symbolic names in Report Writer .
