Inhier Valueset or Variable

An inhier valueset is those values of the inhier dimension that are in each hierarchy. Example: Defining and Populating an inhier Valueset Named geog_inhier illustrates defining and populating this type of valueset.

An inhier variable is a BOOLEAN variable that is dimensioned by the hierarchical dimension and the hierlist dimension. For each hierarchy, it has a TRUE value for each dimension value that is in that hierarchy. Example: Defining and Populating an inhier Variable Named geog_inhiervar illustrates defining and populating this type of valueset

Example 1-6 Defining and Populating an inhier Valueset Named geog_inhier

"Define the valueset
DEFINE geog_inhier VALUESET geog <geog_hierlist>
"Using LIMIT commands, populate the valueset
LIMIT geog_inhier (geog_hierlist 'Political_Geog') REMOVE 'East' 'West' 'All Regions'
LIMIT geog_inhier (geog_hierlist 'Sales_Geog') REMOVE 'Canada' 'USA' 'All Country'
"Display the values in the valueset
