[seqfan] Need help with notation: sums of subset products

Hi Seqfans,
I was wondering if OEIS-style notation exists for this concept: the sum Z of the products of all combinations of numbers in set S. Alternatively stated, the sum Z of all nonempty non-proper subset products in set S.
For example, S = {3,4,5}; Z = 3 + 4 + 5 + 3*4 + 3*5 + 4*5 + 3*4*5 = 119.
I would like to include this concept in some entries as formulas rather than as comments, so notation would be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Bob Selcoe
