LISTBY

The LISTBY program produces a report of the names of all objects in an analytic workspace that are dimensioned by or related to one or more specified dimensions or composites. You can use LISTBY with a dimension or composite in any attached workspace.

Syntax

LISTBY dimensions

Arguments

dimensions

A list of one or more dimensions or composites, separated by spaces. When you list more than one dimension, all the dimensions must be in the same workspace. LISTBY returns a list of objects that are dimensioned by all the dimensions you specify. When you specify an unnamed composite, use the following format:

LISTBY SPARSE dim1 dim2 ...

Notes

Composites and Conjoint Dimensions

The report produced by LISTBY includes any named or unnamed composite, or conjoint dimension, whose base dimension list includes the dimensions you specify.

The report also includes any object whose dimension list includes a named or unnamed composite that in turn has the specified dimensions as base dimensions.

Examples

Example 10-30 Using LISTBY

LISTBY is used here to list the name of every object that is dimensioned by or related to product. The statement LISTBY product produces the following output.

15 objects dimensioned by or related to PRODUCT

Example 10-31 Specifying More Than One Dimension

In this example LISTBY is used to list the name of every object that is dimensioned by or related to both product and market.
