<ASYM

Command

The ASYM causes a report to be printed in an asymmetric format.

Syntax

<ASYM

Default Value

Hyperion Essbase prints an asymmetric report (with BLOCKHEADERS) only when all column dimensions include the same number of selected members and all members from each column dimension are on the same line. Otherwise, a symmetric report (with PYRAMIDHEADERS) is produced.

Description

This command reverses a previously specified SYM command in an asymmetric report.

If the <SYM keyword is used, all report headers appear in a symmetric format, even if there are equal numbers of members in each row of the column header. In this case, the <ASYM keyword is used to turn off symmetric mode.

Example

The following example is based on Sample Basic.

• If the number of members you select from one column dimension differs from the number of members you select from another column dimension, the resulting report is always symmetric.
