Using a variable in an allocation routine in SAP BPC 7.5NW

Question

Below is a very simple BPC allocation routine I wrote.  The data originally sits on a dummy profit center and needs to be allocated to all itu2019s relevant profit centers. These relevant profit centers can be derived from the profit center hierarchy (BPC_ + ID of entity).
When I hardcode the Profitcenter and the entity, the routine works (as below). But what I really want is that it works variable as in the line that I commented out. Any idea whether this could work (BPC 7.5NW)  ? If not, I am afraid I need to go to ABAP, which is really a pitty
//ALLOCATION PROCEDURE CONVERSION RATE
//=====================================
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=1
*DIM SEBACCOUNT WHAT=CONV_RATE; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<< ; TOTAL=<<<
//*DIM PROFCENT WHAT=DUMPC; WHERE=BAS(BPC_"%ENTITY_SET%");USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM PROFCENT WHAT=DUMPC; WHERE=BAS(BPC_OKB);USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM ENTITY WHAT=OKB; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<< ; TOTAL=<<<
*ENDALLOCATION

Gersh,
It works now. I have implemented the below code (ENTITY needed to contain the variable as well). The relationship profitcenter and entity is very important as it derives the relevant profitcenters from the profit center hierarchy (e.g. all profitcenters under the legalentity node).
//ALLOCATION PROCEDURE CONVERSION RATE
//=====================================
*FOR %ENT% = %ENTITY_SET%
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=1
*DIM SEBACCOUNT WHAT=CONV_RATE; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<< ; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM PROFCENT WHAT=DUMPC; WHERE=BAS(BPC_%ENT%);USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM CATEGORY WHAT=FCSTCUR; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<< ; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM ENTITY WHAT=%ENT%; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
*ENDALLOCATION
*NEXT
Thanks
