IsParentSymbol

Use this function to determine whether the specified database symbol is a parent. A value of 1 means the symbol is a parent symbol; a value of 0 means that it is not (therefore, the symbol is a leaf). If the user does not have access to that particular symbol, the function will return an error message.

Syntax:

ISPARENTSYMBOL("dimName", "symName")

where:

  • dimName is the dimension in which the symbol exists, enclosed in double quotation marks.
  • symName is the name of the symbol whose status is to be determined, enclosed in double quotation marks.
