Using Special Characters and Non-Unique Element Names in an Area Definition

You can use the syntax 'dimensionname':'elementname' in an area definition to specify elements that are not unique to a single dimension or for dimension names that contain special characters.

For example, the area

['Units', 'Mar', 'Region':'North America']

lets you write a statement when the element North America is not unique to the Region dimension.

Similarly, the area

['}Groups':'ADMIN'] 

allows you to write a statement for the }Groups dimension, which contains the curly brace } special character.
