CUBE-AREA or MDX-SET
The CUBE-AREA or MDX-SET terminal in the MaxL language represents an Essbase cube area or other specification, developed in MDX as a symmetric, syntactically-valid set.
The area specification must be static; for example, it cannot contain Dynamic Calc members or runtime functions such as Filter, TopSum, or BottomSum. Enclose strings containing special characters in square brackets ([]).
