You can find several prepackaged script logic functions in the system library. One example function is called accumulate() which is probably the one you need to follow:
*SUB ACCUMULATE(%src_flowacc%, %dst_bsacc%)
// Accumulate periodic values from a flow account into a bs account
// This is a complete commit section
//=========================================================================================
     // must process one period at a time
     *PROCESS_EACH_MEMBER=TIME
     // set the appropriate region to clear
     //(all reporting currencies)
     *CLEAR_DESTINATION
     *DESTINATION TIMEDIM=%TIME_SET%
     // enforce loading the appropriate region
     *XDIM_MEMBERSET TIMEDIM=[TIMEDIM].[%TIME_SET%],strtomember("["+[TIMEDIM].[%TIME_SET%].properties("PRIOR")+"]")
     *XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNTDIM=%src_flowacc%
     *WHEN TIMEDIM.CURRENT
     *IS %TIME_SET%
          *REC(EXPRESSION=(%VALUE%+GET(TIMEDIM=TIMEDIM.PRIOR,ACCOUNTDIM=%dst_bsacc%)), %dst_bsacc%)
     *ENDWHEN
     *COMMIT
*ENDSUB
Hope this helps,
