Undocumented Turbo Integrator Functions

[dubs]

Hi All,

Does anyone know where I can get info on the undocumented TI functions such as:

DimensionElementInsertByAlias
DimensionEditingAliasSet

and variables such as:

ODBODimensionTM1DimName
ODBODimensionTM1DimName

I cannot find decriptions and argument definitions on either google or in the documentation, does anyone know where this info is?

Many Thanks

Erm, the functions are undocumented, therefore there is no documentation. To expect otherwise would be a contradiction.

If you want to play with undocumented features and functions the only way is via trial and error and is obviously at your own peril.

Rather like expecting Iboglix to document everything (E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G) and not just what they frappin' feel like would be like bashing one's head repeatedly against a wall. (API manual, and even worse, the joke that passes for the .Net API manual, I'm looking with a death stare in your direction.)

"Oh, well, we put those in the reserved words list, what, do they actually want to know what they do as well? Some people are never satisfied..."

Best bet is to lodge a PMR with IBM support. There's the remote, distant possibility that at the very least it might clue someone in there in to the fact that "hey, we listed these functions then forgot to say what they do" and they may rectify it... some day. Just be aware that there are some keywords that seem to have been left over from defunct versions and have no purpose any more, but since these ones first made an appearance in the 9.4 manual that's probably not the case with these.

Thanks Alan

it's a shame IBM haven't comprehensively undocumented them as they do appear in the documentation just without explanation, you'd think if they were truly undocumented they wouldn't appear in the documentation at all
