Balance carry in script logic

Question

Time counter loop
I need to copy the 'Jan' closing balance from Account A to copied Account B of the following year'Jan'.
This I need to do it for 7 years planning values by user defined 50 profit centers
I am using time counter in the beginning...like following
*FOR %COUNTER% = 0,12,24,36,48,60
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME =TMVL(%COUNTER%,%TIME_SET%)
*XDIM_MEMBERSET RPTCURRENCY= LC
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY= %CATEGORY_SET%
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS ACCOUNT'1'
*REC(ACCOUNT='ACCOUNT '2', TIME=TMVL(%COUNTER%,%TIME_SET%),CATEGORY=%CATEGORY_SET%)
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
*NEXT
It is not posting to following year. Can some one suggest what I am missing in the recording logic.
It need to be calculated for one after another year in loop and it part of major other calculation.

Hi,
You mentioned that you want to:
Copy 2011.JAN -> 2012.JAN ,
2012.JAN -> 2013.JAN ,
2013.JAN -> 2014.JAN and for further for 7 years.
Lets say, this script is run in 2011.JAN.
In that case, do you have any data in 2012.JAN to be copied to 2013.JAN? If no, then the suggested script will work absolutely fine.
In the other case, lets say you already have values in the jan month of the subsequent years, then you should first copy them to the next year, before overwriting them. You can try something like below:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET RPTCURRENCY= LC
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY= %CATEGORY_SET%
*FOR %COUNTER% = 60,48,36,24,12,0
   *WHEN TIME
   *IS TMVL(%COUNTER%,%TIME_SET%)
      *WHEN ACCOUNT
      *IS ACCOUNT1
         *REC(ACCOUNT=ACCOUNT2, TIME=TMVL(%COUNTER%+12,%TIME_SET%))
      *ENDWHEN
   *ENDWHEN
*NEXT
Hope this helps.
