Aggregation, Allocation, and Modeling Programs

---

To aggregate, allocate, or model data using the OLAP DML, you first specify the calculation that you want performed by defining a calculation specification as outlined in "Creating Calculation Specifications". Later, if you want to populate variables with aggregated, allocated or modeled values as a database maintenance procedure, you write a program to execute the calculation object. For more information on the OLAP DML statements that you use in these programs, see "Executing the Aggregation", "Allocating Data", and "Running a Model".
