Problem Note 14356: Misspelled MDX function name may crash OLAP Server
In some cases, when querying a SAS OLAP cube and either specifying a
non-existent or misspelled MDX function name, you may receive an access
violation on your SAS OLAP Server.
For example, the MDX query below that includes a misspelling of the MDX
function AddCalculatedMembers:
SELECT AddCalculatedMember([cars].members) on columns
from [mddbcars]
caused the following access violation as written in the SAS OLAP Server
log file:
First-Chance Exception: SIGACCESS (Access Violation).
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (C0000005) read access at Address 00000000
