The OLAP Dimension basically allows you to filter the data depending on the fields you specify.

e.g
OLAP DIMENSIONS
location: world,country,region;
END

will allow you to filter the data on world,then on a country and then region(individually or combination).Once you write the above code in your fex file your OLAP control panel's Dimensions Tab will show you the fields world,country,region where you can specify the value for each for filtering.

Regards,
Aditya

I am not sure how much this will help.But you can try a hold on your table -

e.g.

select query;

TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT
*
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD2
END

and before this just FILEDEF your hold file.so your entire code will look like this -

==============================
APP PATH BASEAPP yourparentfoldername
-RUN

FILEDEF HOLD2 DISK HOLD2.FTM (APPEND
-RUN

ENGINE DB2 SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION databasename
SQL DB2

your sql query here if u are using one;

APP HOLDMETA yourparentfoldername
APP HOLDDATA yourparentfoldername


TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT
*
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD2
END

TABLE FILE HOLD2
PRINT *
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT FOCUS AS DDD
END

TABLE FILE DDD
PRINT *
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT FOCUS AS HABC
END
-RUN

APP HABC BASEAPP/HABC.FTM
-OLAP ON

OLAP DIMENSIONS
your dimensions here
END

TABLE FILE HABC
PRINT *

ON TABLE SET AUTODRILL ON
END
