Functions for MDA stores are the following: 

Anchor
MDADim MDADim

MDADim(Double, Double, Integer)

This function creates a new dimension for any MDA store.

...

1. The name for the store
2. A list of the dimensions for the MDA store. Each entry is a list of TODOof borders (see MDADim)

Return value: null

Example:

MDAInit("MyStore", ToList(MDADim(0.0, 200.0, ToInteger(3))))

MDADrop(String)

This function drops an existing MDA store.

Argument: The name for the store

Return value: null

Example:

MDADrop("MyStore")

MDAIndex(String, Double)

This function retrieves the index of an one-dimensional MDA store for a given value. In other words, it answers the quesion in which cell the values lies.
Short-cut for MDAIndices with one dimension. 

Arguments:

1. The name of the store
2. The value to check

Note that it must be an one-dimensional MDA

Return value: Integer

The cell in which cell the values lies, or -1, if the value is outside the boundaries.

Example:

Using the Nexmark sources:

MDAIndex("MyStore", price)

Anchor
MDAIndices MDAIndices

MDAIndices(String, List<Double>)

This function retrieves the index of multi-dimensional MDA store for a given value. In other words, it answers the quesion in which cell the values lies.

Arguments:

1. The name of the store
2. The multi-dimensional value to check

Return value: List<Integer>

The cell in which cell the values lies, or -1 for any dimension, if the value is outside the boundaries of that dimension.

Example:

Using the Nexmark sources:

MDAIndex("MyStore", ToList(price, ToDouble(initialbid)))

MDAAddDim(String, [Integer,] List<Double>)

This function adds a new dimension to an existing MDA store.

Arguments:

1. The name of the store
2. Optional: The index of the dimension. Leave it out to add the dimension as the last dimension
3. A list of borders (see MDADim)

Return value: null

Example:

MDAAddDim("MyStore", MDADim(0.0, 200.0, ToInteger(3)))

MDARemoveDim(String, Integer)

This function removes an existing dimension from an existing MDA store.

Arguments:

1. The name of the store
2. The index of the dimension to remove

Return value: null

Example:

MDARemoveDim("MyStore", ToInteger(0))

MDAExchangeDim(String, Integer, List<Double>)

This function replaces en existing dimension of an existing MDA store with a new dimension.

Arguments:

1. The name for the store
2. The index of the dimension to exchange
3. A list of new borders (see MDADim)

Return value: null

Example:

MDAExchangeDim("MyDim", ToInteger(0), MDADim(200.0, 400.0, ToInteger(5)))
