BI-IP change characteristic value in FOX

Question

Hello Guys,
i want to change the characteristic value in FOX.
Therefore the FOX runs through all char combinations to identify the highest
number for the char test.
This step works fine, but i cant write the value for maxloop in the cube.
If i try, only the old row is deleted, but i dont get a new row with the calculated value for maxloop.
the code looks like this:
DATA LOOP TYPE test.
DATA MINLOOP TYPE test.
DATA MAXLOOP TYPE test.
MINLOOP = 00000.
MAXLOOP = 00000.
FOREACH LOOP.
MINLOOP = LOOP.
IF MINLOOP > MAXLOOP.
MAXLOOP = MINLOOP.
ENDIF.
ENDFOR.
MAXLOOP = MAXLOOP + 00001.
{Amount, EUR, #, #, 00200, 00000000, #, 2007, #, #, #, #, #, #, #} =
{Amount, EUR, #, #, maxloop, 00000000, #, 2007, #, #, #, #, #, #, #}.
Any suggestions what is wrong here?

Hi,
You have written
{Amount, EUR, #, #, 00200, 00000000, #, 2007, #, #, #, #, #, #, #} =
{Amount, EUR, #, #, maxloop, 00000000, #, 2007, #, #, #, #, #, #, #}.
But as per the statement  MAXLOOP = MAXLOOP + 00001 the MAXLOOP conatins a new figure. Obviously there will not be any record in the cube for this value of MAXLOOP.
You are assigning this to the record with MAXLOOP = 00200, so system is assigning zero to  0AMOUNT for the record that is having MAXLOOP=00200 value.
Make the below corrections and test again:
DATA NEWLOOP type test.
NEWLOOP = MAXLOOP + 00001.
{Amount, EUR, #, #, NEWLOOP, 00000000, #, 2007, #, #, #, #, #, #, #} =
{Amount, EUR, #, #, MAXLOOP, 00000000, #, 2007, #, #, #, #, #, #, #}.
