AWDESCRIBE

The AWDESCRIBE program sends information about the current analytic workspace to the current outfile. After a summary page, it provides a report in two parts:

An alphabetic list of analytic workspace objects showing name, type, and description.
A list of object definitions by object type. Each definition includes the information you would see when you used the DESCRIBE statement. It also includes a "Referenced By" list, which indicates any programs or other compilable objects that call or access the object. In addition, compilable objects have a "References To" list, indicating the analytic workspace objects that they call or access.

Syntax

AWDESCRIBE

Usage Notes

Information in Referenced By List

The AWDESCRIBE command does not provide information in the "Referenced By" and "References To" list for implicit references. For example: When a program contains a LIMIT command to limit a dimension by a related dimension, AWDESCRIBE does not list the relation for those dimensions in the "References To" list for that program.

Examples
