[ASK] Get One Row of Property Value From Dimension in Script Logic

Question

Hello, i need help about how to get one row of property value from dimension in script logic.
Let say there is CATEGORY dimension and the members are like this :
ID                                                  YEAR   Status
PLAN_2011                                   2011        A
PLAN_2011_V1                            2011        I
ACTUAL_2011                              2011        I
FORECAST_2011                         2011        I
FORECAST_2011_V1                  2011        A
PLAN_2012                                  2012        A
PLAN_2012_V1                           2012        I
ACTUAL_2012                             2012        I
FORECAST_2012                         2012        I
FORECAST_2012_V1                  2012        A
If i scope CATEGORY like this :
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY = [CATEGORY].PROPERTIES("YEAR") = "2011"
Then i will get member scope like this :
PLAN_2011                                   2011        A
PLAN_2011_V1                            2011        I
ACTUAL_2011                              2011        I
FORECAST_2011                         2011        I
FORECAST_2011_V1                  2011        A
Question :
In script logic, how can i read the second record of scope and move it to variable ?
Ex. : I read second record, so i can get the data of second record (PLAN_2011_V1, 2011, A).
Is there any function to read all record that had been scope ? So i can read all those 5 records.
Is there any substring or offset function in script logic ? How to use it ?
Thank you.

Hi,
Firstly, when we scope the logic, it doesnt fetch the entire record from the member sheet. It just fetches the ID.
Secondly, we dont have the feasibility to read only the second ID and skip the others. However, one alternative is that you use the SELECT statement to store all the IDs in a variable, and then use a FOR loop. But this will loop through all the 5 IDs, as per your example. If you want to skip all the IDs except one, you should maintain some property, so that all the IDs are neglected which doesnt have a particular property value.
Hope you got the idea.
