MEMBER-NAME

The MEMBER-NAME terminal in MaxL represents the name of a member in an Essbase database outline.

If the member name contains special characters (see MaxL Syntax Notes), it must be enclosed in single quotation marks when you pass it into the MaxL Shell.

Type

name (see MaxL Syntax Notes)

Examples

Jan
'New York'

If MEMBER-NAME is part of MEMBER-EXPRESSION and MEMBER-NAME begins with a number or contains special characters (see MaxL Syntax Notes), enclose MEMBER-NAME in double quotation marks and enclose MEMBER-EXPRESSION in single quotation marks.

To specify a member name, you can also reference:

  • a member alias.
  • a member ID. Example: 'id__27'.
  • an attribute member name that is differentiated using a prefix or suffix. Example: 'Ounces_32'.
  • a qualified member name, for a member in a duplicate member name outline. Example: '[Ounces].[32]'.
