OLAP DML Programs

---

Some OLAP DML statements are actually the names of OLAP DML programs provided as part of the OLAP DML. Some of these programs produce reports that you can print or see online. For example, the AWDESCRIBE program produces a report that consists of a summary page; an alphabetic list of analytic workspace objects showing name, type, and description; and a list of object definitions by object type.

Other programs provided as part of the OLAP DML perform standard calculations of use to programmers and database administrators. For example, VALSPERPAGE program calculates the maximum number of values for a variable of a given width that will fit on one analytic workspace page.

You execute programs provided as part of the OLAP DML the same way that you do any other OLAP DML statement following the syntax provided for that program in Alphabetic Reference.

You can also write your own OLAP DML programs to augment the functionality of the OLAP DML as described in Programs.
