One on my customers wants to use the SYSCOLUM master to extract data from the MASTER of a SSAS cube, specifically FIELDNAME, ALIAS, TITLE and WITHIN.
The first 3 are accessible, the last is not.
I tried DIMEN_NAME to no avail.
Any ideas?

Interesting, I checked the master SHORT in IBISAMP, and the WITHIN is populated in these columns.

Perhaps you can compare how its implemented in the cubes master ?

Using TABLE FILE SYSCOLUM on the SHORT master shows via DIMEN_NAME the fields with WITHIN values starting with * and the fields linked.
For example fields CONTINENT, REGION and COUNTRY all have DIMEN_NAME = Geographic Area.
However, sadly, this is not the case for a CUBE master: DIMEN_NAME is blank.
