CALC_DUMMY_ORG

Question

Hello folks,
does the calc_dummy_org instruction work in BPC 7.5 (SP4). I have the following code
*SELECT (%CENTERS%,"[ID]","ENTITY","ID LIKE 'CC%'")
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ENTITY=%CENTERS%
*CALC_DUMMY_ORG entity=parenth1
*WHEN POS(TIME)
*IS <POS(FIRSTMONTH)
*REC(FACTOR=-1)
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
the logic log shows that the values posted to the DB are still the base members.
The code above used to work previously.
Thx for your help

Hello Sorin,
the code I gave is only an excerpt. However, my objective is to save records using another entity member using the property INPUTMBR of the entity dimension. Something like this (taken from the Script Logic guide..)
// create the memory variables (in this case the parents in H1, for example #SALES, #WORLDWIDE1)
*CALC_DUMMY_ORG ENTITY=PARENTH1
// Some parent might have a corresponding input member specified in a property
*WHEN ENTITY.INPUTMEMBER
*IS<>u201Du201D
*REC(ENTITY=ENTITY.INPUTMEMBER)
*ENDWHEN
However, it seems this script doesn't work to me. Is it possible it something due to some configuration setting about the use of memory variable? I have tried any possible change in the syntax but nothing. it doesn't work.
Moreover if I change the *CALC_DUMMY_ORG ENTITY=PARENTH1 into *CALC_ORG ENTITY=PARENTH1, DUMMY which is another accepted syntax (according to the guide), I get an SQL error saying that PARENTH1,DUMMY doesn't exist.
