A string array containing a context dataset.

axis

A string specifying the qname of an axis to match.

Return Value

Returns an int as the member position within the dataset or a formatted error code on failure.

Remarks

The XBRLFindContextAxis function makes it easy to find an axis without needing to write Legato code to look at each dimension key name within a context dataset. The result position is not a subscript to the data set but rather the member position starting at 1.
