Numbers

You use numbers in MaxL statements to change certain database settings in Essbase. For example, you can change cache and buffer sizes or set system-wide intervals such as the number of days elapsing before users are required to change their passwords. To change numeric settings, you can use positive integers, positive real numbers, and zero. Decimals and scientific notation are permitted.

Examples:

1000 
2.2 
645e-2

For size settings, units must follow the number. Spaces between numbers and units are optional. Units are case-insensitive and may include the following: B/b (bytes), KB/kb (kilobytes), MB/mb (megabytes), GB/gb (gigabytes), and TB/tb (terabytes). If no units are given, bytes are assumed.

Examples:

1000 b 
5.5GB 
645e-2 mb 
145 KB 
2,000e-3TB
