Creating Member List Files

You can use a text editor such as Notepad ++ to create member list files and then load the files into your application.

You can use Microsoft Visual Basic script syntax to add members to each static and dynamic list.

Note:

The member list name cannot contain quotation marks ("") or an ampersand (&).

By default, member list files use the LST file extension.

You use these subroutines to create member list files:

  • Sub EnumMemberLists (): Specifies which dimensions have member lists, and defines the member lists for each dimension. You define the number of lists for each dimension and the name of each member list within that dimension.

  • Sub EnumMembersInList (): Defines the members within each member list.

Note:

The HS.Dimension function returns the dimension alias of the dimension. For Custom dimensions, in which you can specify a dimension name and dimension alias (long name), the HS.Dimension function returns the dimension alias (long name).

For information on adding dynamic member lists to the script, see Dynamic Member Lists.
