The $ALLOCMAP property specifies the default aggmap for allocation for a variable. This is the aggmap that Oracle OLAP uses when the variable is the target variable of an ALLOCATE statement that does not include a USING phrase.
Syntax
You add or delete an $ALLOCMAP property to the most recently defined or considered object (see DEFINE and CONSIDER) using a PROPERTY statement:
To add the property, issue the following statement.
PROPERTY '$ALLOCMAP' aggmap-name
To delete the property, issue the following statement.
PROPERTY DELETE '$AALLOCMAP'
Arguments
A TEXT
expression that specifies the name of a previously defined ALLOCMAP type aggmap object.
Examples
Example 8-5 Using $ALLOCMAP to Specify a Default Allocation Specification
Example 9-17, "Recursive Even Allocation with a Lock" uses the following statement to allocated data in the projbudget
variable using the projbudgmap
allocation specification.
ALLOCATE projbudget USING projbudgmap
You can specify that projbudgmap
is the default allocation specification for the projbudget
variable by issuing the following statements.
CONSIDER projbudget PROPERTY '$ALLOCMAP' "projbugmap'
Now, merely by issuing the following statement, you can allocate data in the projbudget
variable using the projbudgmap
allocation specification.
ALLOCATE projbudget
