NAMEWIDTH

Determines the width of all row name columns in the report.

Syntax

{ NAMEWIDTH [ width ] }

Parameters

width: Optional. Specifies the total number of characters displayed for each column.

Notes

This command determines the width of the column for all row member names in the report. Member names are truncated when necessary to fit in the column and the tilde character(~) signifies that there are letters not visible in the report. If each names column needs a different width, use the WIDTH command.

Default Value

If width is not given, then a default value of 17 is assumed.

Example

The following report script is designed for the Demo Basic cube, available in the gallery. The first report for Chicago displays the default width for the row names column, while the { NAMEWIDTH 25 } command in the Boston report increases the width of the row names column to 25.


<PAGE (Market, Accounts, Scenario)
