Defining Data Objects, 9 of 9
The definition of the last object you have defined in your analytic workspace is the current definition. You can append characteristics, such as a description, property, or permission to the current definition. If you want to append a characteristic to a definition that is not current, then you can use the CONSIDER command to make it the current definition.
The following table lists the OLAP DML commands that you can use to append characteristics to an object definition.
Suppose that you have defined a Boolean variable named ONPLAN. Later, you want to add a description to the variable's definition.
As shown below, to change the definition of the ONPLAN variable, you first make ONPLAN the current definition, and then you append a description to the definition.
consider onplan ld Are these districts being tracked on a special plan?
You can redefine the access mode of a variable by using the CHGDFN command, which is shown below.
CHGDFN varname INPLACE PERMANENT
For more information on the DEFINE and CHGDFN commands, see the topic for the command in the OLAP DML Reference.
