scope statement in the session scope?

How to write [scope] statements in the session cope,not in the cube-mdx-script?

In the book called "Microsoft Analysis Services 2005" written by developers from microsft's ssas2005 team, there is a senctence:

"because scope statements and assignment operators work ony in the context of a cube or session..."

How to do that ?

Thanx.

You can't do a scope statement from Management Studio because Management Studio doesn't set the current cube on the connection string.

If you look at the MDX Script Performance tool (http://www.codeplex.com/mdxscriptperf) that Chris Webb wrote you will see an example of running a scope statement within a session. It specifies the cube in the connection string. And it replays the calc script one statement at a time which is an example of using "scope" in the context of a session.

Hope that helps.

Thanx for your answer,which is right absolutely.

But I doubt about the Performance Analyzer according the inner working rule , which can be found in the book called "Microsoft Analysis Services 2005" that is written by developers from SSAS2005.
