In earlier releases of Version 8 of the SAS System within the
Distributed Multidimensional Metadata facility (MDMDDB), if you are
editing the Classes tab in the Subtables window for a specified data
source to set the racking values for the selected class variable, all
the available class values are automatically retrieved into the
Available listbox.  Depending on the data source, this could take a
while to load these values or the value you need to specify for the
class variable may not yet exist to select from the retrieved list.

To enhance the Classes window's performance and functionality, a
pushbutton labeled 'Retrieve Values' was added to this window in Release
8.2 TS2M0 to only retrieve the values for a class variable upon
selection of that pushbutton.  This will allow you to enter a desired
class value that was contained in the data source without having to have
the value retrieved from the data source initially.

A button labeled 'Racking' has also been added to the General tab of the
Define Data Group Window.  This allows you to specify the racking
information for your class variables from the the primary Data Group
window without having to go down several windows deep to the Classes tab
of the Subtables window.  As in the Classes tab of the Subtable window,
the Racking window also allows you to either retrieve the class values
directly from the data source or input them manually to avoid retrieval
from the data source.
