Currency Translation in Planning sequence with variable for target currency

Question

Hello ,
i have a requirement, the cube contains multiple data in the Group Currency for multiple company codes. & I want to convert these amounts to another KF as local currency using planning sequence only (not using transformation, as the users want to do this when they require.)
For this, i defined a Aggr level , filter & Planning function with Currency translation selecting the source field as AMOUNT_GC & target field as AMOUNT_LC using the Currency Translation type ZCTGCLC.
The target currency is not know beforehand, as it depends on the company code of each records that comes in.
Hence, Currency translation type uses  a Customer exit variable 'Z_R_0026' for target currency.
This is customer exit variable which searches the Master data table of the Company code & replies back with the local currency of that particular company code (derived value from the company code variable also in teh filter).
However, when i execute this planning sequence, it gives me an error saying, "no value found for variable 'Z_R_0026'
1. when edit the CMOD code, to return only say "EUR" the planning sequence runs fine.However when i use this select statement to fetch the corresponding value of the currency using the company code reference from the company code master data table, it gives the above error. it seems to be a problem with the select statement.
below is the code for that exit
when 'Z_R_0026'.
     data: l_curr type /BI0/OICURRENCY.
     IF i_step = 2.
       LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range
                          WHERE vnam = 'Z_S_0003'. " Company Code Single
         CLEAR l_s_range.
    Filling Currency Key from Company Code
         select single currency
         from /bi0/pcomp_code
         into l_curr
         where comp_code = loc_var_range-low
         and objvers = 'A'.
         if sy-subrc = 0.
           l_s_range-low = l_curr.
         else.
           l_s_range-low      = 'ABC'.
         endif.
         l_s_range-opt      = 'EQ'.
         l_s_range-sign     = 'I'.
         APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
         clear l_s_range.
         EXIT.
       ENDLOOP.
     ENDIF.
2. there is a option of using infoobject for target currency in the RSCUR itself, however, when i try to input the 0COMP_CODE for finding the attribute currency from this infoobject, it doesnt accept.
has anyone tried this earlier ?
Any help/suggestions , guys, pls?
Thanks

Hi Praveen ,
Thanks for that.
I have a Question.
If RSCUR were to only accept a Date InfoObject , it would be placed under a differnt heading.
The Tab is "Currrency"  & the sub-Tab is "Target Currency"
so i guess, it should accept other infoObjects as well.
Moreover, the help on that InfoObject buttons says
"Specification of an InfoObject (Characteristic) in which a currency
attribute is stored in InfoObject maintenance. At runtime, the
associated currency attribute is determined using the characteristic
value and this is interpreted as source or target currency."
& i have already defined 0currency as a attribute of 0comp_code. so this should work ideally.
almost similiar CMOD code i have used for other too, but i dont know why only this one is getting struck.
any help, pls.
Thanks
John
