| Details |
An MDDB is a multidimensional database (not a data set) offered by SAS. An MDDB is a specialized storage facility that can be created by tools such as multidimensional data viewers, which populate the MDDB with data that is retrieved from sources such as a data warehouse. The matrix format of MDDBs allows the viewer to access data quickly and easily.
If the memname parameter is blank, then the RETRIEVE_MDDB CALL routine creates the MDDB using the original member name as it was defined at publish time.
The following example retrieves an MDDB entry WORK.OUTDATA from the package:
lib = 'work'; mem = 'outdata'; CALL RETRIEVE_MDDB(entryId, lib, mem, rc);
