Entering Multi-Dimension Set Values 

  1. On the Create Set: Header Screen, choose Goto ® Subordinate sets.

    2. The Create Set: Subordinate sets screen for multi-dimension sets appears.

  2. Make the following entries:

    3. – 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.
