OUTALT
The OUTALT Report Writer command sets the output alias to the Essbase alias name, as defined in the current alias table.
Syntax
<OUTALTNotes
-
OUTALT cannot be used on duplicate member outlines. See REPALIAS.
-
OUTALT is used to reset the output alias to the Database Outline alias name. Use this command to restore the default alias after OUTALTMBR or OUTMBRALT have been used to redefine the alternate name.
-
You must precede the OUTALT command with OUTALTNAMES to display the alias (rather than the member name).
