Any prerequisites for using javascripts (JS) in SAP BPC 7.5NW (SP5)

Question

Hi,
I keep getting evalution and parsing errors, every time I use a JS in my conversion files. It simple standard JS, like:
js:parseInt(%external%)
js:%external%.substring(2,5)
etc
Are there any prerequisites for using javascripts ??
Is there anywhere I can debug these JS withing SAP BW ?
Thank you,
Joergen

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
