Before the Essbase Server can receive MaxL statements,
The Essbase Server must be running.
The MaxL Shell (essmsh) must be invoked (see MaxL Invocation Summary), if you are using the shell.
You must log in (see Login) to the Essbase Server from the MaxL Shell. If you are running a MaxL script, the first line of your script must be a login statement.
When using the MaxL Shell or the MaxL Script Editor, you must use a semicolon (;) to terminate each MaxL statement.
