Gets the name for a specific level within a dimension. Level names are explicitly added to the outline with EsbOtlSetLevelName.
Syntax
EsbOtlGetLevelName (hOutline, pszDimension, usLevel, pszName) ByVal hOutline As Long ByVal pszDimension As String ByVal usLevel As Integer ByVal pszName As String
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
hOutline | Outline context handle. |
pszDimension | Name of dimension that contains the generation. |
usLevel | Number of level number for which to get a name. Leaf members are level 0. |
pszName | Buffer for return of the level of the specified dimension, allocated by the caller. The buffer must be large enough to hold a valid member name (ESB_MBRNAMELEN). |
Notes
The generation name follows the same rules as a member name and must be unique across the entire member name space. It cannot duplicate any other generation, level, member name, or alias. Attempting to add a duplicate name generates an error.
Level names are not automatically assigned. For this function to return the name, a name must have been assigned. The name can be assigned with EsbOtlSetLevelName.
Return Value
The return value is zero if the function was successful. Otherwise, the command returns either of the following:
OTLAPI_NO_GENLEVELNAME
OTLAPI_ERR_NOTADIM
