Ho Saravana,

I did have nearly the same issue some months ago -- you will find below a
good starting point.
I am quite sure there is a better way to achieve it or with better code,
but this should work!

Kind regards,

Eric

M=diag(3)
M[1,2]=2
M <- rbind(M,M[1,])
colnames(M) <- paste("V",1:ncol(M),sep="")
out=generateCube(M)
out2=generateCube(M,simplify=FALSE)

out[[2]][["V1*V3"]]
out2[[2]][["V1*V3"]]["0","1"]
