This paper presents a new complexity result for solving multiobjective integer programming problems. We prove that encoding the entire set of nondominated solutions of the problem in a short sum of rational functions is polynomially doable, when the dimension of the decision space is fixed. This result extends a previous result presented in De Loera et al. (2009) in that there the number of the objective functions is assumed to be fixed whereas ours allows this number to vary.
