Copy function errors when defining a range of fiscalyear/periods in variabl

Question

Hey Gurus,
I'm trying to execute the copy function using two variables to copy from one fiscal year/period to another fiscal year/period.
Two variables were created 'XXXXXX' = 001/2006 to 006/2006
and 'YYYYYY' = 001/2007 to 006/2007.
So in trying to copy plan data from  'XXXXXX' to 'YYYYYY', these variables are then defined in the paramter group. I get an error message stating that the variables can only be defined with single values.
This has forced us to enter each fiscal year/period one by one in the parameter group.
Has anyone come across this before, and can recommend a way around it instead of defining each fiscal year/period individually in the parameter group.
thanks

Hello Ehab,
In your example, you were copying say 001/2006-007/2006 to 001/2007-007/2007.
Using the above assumption, we observe that the periods are fixed but the years are not.
We can therefore pass the from period as 001, to period as 007. From year as 2006 and to year as 2007.
We are therefore passing only single values for each variable.
In our foxcode, we can loop through each period and generate the new set of records for 2007.
Hope this helps.
