Business Rule question in Essbase

Question

Dear Experts,
I am trying to write the following business rule, I'm new to this and I am not sure how the syntax works, please advice.
All I want to do is to insert the created Block for "March" into a variable so I can use it to calculate the value for IQ1 in the a different block. It should be a fairly simple procedure but I am very new to this and not sure where it is best to look for guides and use of syntax around business rules. So far I'm struggling to get the first block to work.
SET CACHE LOW;
SET UPDATECALC OFF;
SET CLEARUPDATESTATUS OFF;
SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH;
VAR RMAR;
FIX("FY11","Pln","Local","Customer NA","INDUSTRY NA","SPLIT_RATIO","VENDOR NA")
MAR =RMAR ;
ENDFIX /* FIX("FY11","Pln","Local","Customer NA","INDUSTRY NA","SPLIT_RATIO","VENDOR NA") */
FIX("FY11","Pln","Local","Customer NA","INDUSTRY NA","ORIGINAL","VENDOR NA")
MAR = IQ1 * MAR ;
ENDFIX /* FIX("FY11","Pln","Local","Customer NA","INDUSTRY NA","ORIGINAL","VENDOR NA") */
Many Thanks
Stephen

Answer 1

You can use the cross-dim operator (->) to refer to a different block than the one on which you have fixed. So, in your case, all you have to do is use a single fix block and do the following.
FIX(ORIGINAL, ...)
MAR = IQ1 * "SPLIT_RATIO"->RMAR ;
