Problem Note 15202: Total number of dimensions and hierarchies cannot exceed 128 in a SAS OLAP cube
 |  |  |  |  |
The maximum number of dimensions and hierarchy combinations allowed in a SAS® OLAP cube is 128. This means that there can be up to 128 dimensions with 1 hierarchy each or 64 dimension with 2 hierarchies each and so on.
The current version of the SAS OnlineDoc only describes the limit as being on the dimensions and gives the impression that the number of hierarchies is unlimited. This is an error.
