Example

Sub Main;

Var

MB: IMetabase;

Dimen: IDimInstance;

IndxsInst: IDimIndexesInstance;

IndexInst: IDimIndexInstance;

Arr: Array Of Variant;

i: Integer;

Begin

MB:=MetabaseClass.Active;

Dimen:=MB.ItemById("D_TO").Open(Null) As IDimInstance;

Arr:=New Variant[2];

IndxsInst:=Dimen.Indexes;

If IndxsInst.Count<>0 Then

IndexInst:=IndxsInst.Item(0);

Arr[0]:=10;

Arr[1]:=10;

i:=IndexInst.LookUp(Arr);

End If;

End Sub Main;

After executing the example the method searched in attributes of the first dictionary index. Target attribute values are stored in the Arr array. If the search is successful, the "i" variable contains the number of the found element.
