FOR loop in script logic

Dear Gurus,
This is the logic I am working with:
*FOR %MONTH% = 2008.FEB,2008.MAR,2008.APR,2008.MAY,2008.JUN,2008.JUL,2008.AUG,2008.SEP
//CHECK IF THE VALUE OF THE ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION IS GREATER THAN THE CAPITALIZED ASSET VALUE//
[ACCOUNT].[#AccumDepr] = (([ACCOUNT].[AccumDepr]+[ACCOUNT].[Depreciation])>[ACCOUNT].[EQUIPMENT1]? [ACCOUNT].[EQUIPMENT1] : ([ACCOUNT].[AccumDepr]+[ACCOUNT].[Depreciation]))
*NEXT
I am trying to execute the above script logic, but the system is throwing an error that says
"Duplicate formula found: [ACCOUNT].[#AccumDepr] = (([ACCOUNT].[AccumDepr]+......."
Any idea why this is happening?
Also, could you please suggest a better way of writing the above code?
Thanks,
Vijay.

As a testing scenario, I have calculated the depreciation in a different part of the same logic. Here it is:
//This logic calculates the accumulated depreciation amount for the time period specified in the logic
//NOTE: This logic is not very dynamic and is only valid for the accounts specified in the logic
//A FUTURE ENHANCEMENT TO THIS LOGIC WOULD BE TO MAKE THE "LIFE" OF THE ASSET A $DATAMANAGER VARIABLE$
//AND WRITE A CUSTOM SCRIPT LOGIC
//BEGIN SCRIPT LOGIC FILE//
//CONSTANTS
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY=ACTUAL
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT=Depreciation,AccumDepr,NBV_EQUIPMENT1,EQUIPMENT1
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ENTITY=STORE1
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME=2008.JAN,2008.FEB,2008.MAR,2008.APR,2008.MAY,2008.JUN,2008.JUL,2008.AUG,2008.SEP
//BEGIN: POPULATE NET BOOK VALUE FROM CAPITALIZED ASSET VALUE //
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS EQUIPMENT1
     *WHEN TIME
     *IS 2008.JAN
          *REC(FACTOR=1,ACCOUNT="NBV_EQUIPMENT1")
     *ENDWHEN
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
//END: POPULATE NET BOOK VALUE FROM CAPITALIZED ASSET VALUE   //
//BEGIN: CALCULATE DEPRECIATION //
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS EQUIPMENT1
     *REC(EXPRESSION=(%VALUE%/6),ACCOUNT="Depreciation")
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
//END: CALCULATE DEPRECIATION   //
//BEGIN: CALCULATE ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION AND NET BOOK VALUE //
*FOR %MONTH% = 2008.FEB,2008.MAR,2008.APR,2008.MAY,2008.JUN,2008.JUL,2008.AUG,2008.SEP
//CHECK IF THE VALUE OF THE ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION IS GREATER THAN THE CAPITALIZED ASSET VALUE//
*WHEN CATEGORY
*IS ACTUAL
*REC(EXPRESSION=IIF((([ACCOUNT].[AccumDepr] + [ACCOUNT].[Depreciation])>[ACCOUNT].[EQUIPMENT1]), [ACCOUNT].[EQUIPMENT1], [ACCOUNT].[AccumDepr]+[ACCOUNT].[Depreciation]))
*ENDWHEN
*NEXT
//*FOR %MONTH% = 2008.FEB,2008.MAR,2008.APR,2008.MAY,2008.JUN,2008.JUL,2008.AUG,2008.SEP
//CHECK IF THE NET BOOK VALUE OF THE ASSET IS LESS THAN ZERO//
//*[ACCOUNT].[#NBV_EQUIPMENT1] = (([ACCOUNT].[NBV_EQUIPMENT1]-[ACCOUNT].[Depreciation])>0? ([ACCOUNT].[NBV_EQUIPMENT1]-[ACCOUNT].[Depreciation]) : 0)
//*NEXT
*COMMIT
//END: CALCULATE ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION AND NET BOOK VALUE   //
//END SCRIPT LOGIC FILE//
Please let me know if there is a better way to write this code.
Thanks for all your help.

Help in script logic - problem in FOR loop

Hi Experts,
We are using BPC 7.5 SP08. I have written a FOR loop in script logic default.lgf which is as follows:
*FOR %TIM_MEM%=%TIME_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME =%TIM_MEM%
*WHEN P_ACCT2
*IS "OSDU"
REC(EXPRESSION=[P_ACCT2].[ASSTCAINVURO][P_ACCT2].[COGSUPRVIPSA]/[P_ACCT2].[ASSTUPRVTAQTY],P_ACCT2="COGSUIPSAO")
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
*NEXT
As per my requirement, all this members: [ASSTCAINVURO], [COGSUPRVIPSA], [ASSTUPRVTAQTY] exists for months September to next year's August. But in my input schedule, the months are from August to next year's July(which is the company's fiscal year). Consequently the loop runs for month August to next year's July while I need to run the loop 1 month late(i.e. September to next year's August). This was achieved earlier by hard-coding the time members which we cannot afford as this requires to update these hard-coded member IDs every year.
We have also tried using the "NEXT" property of TIME dimension as follows:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME =%TIM_MEM%.NEXT
but %TIM_MEM%.NEXT doesn't get the month in 'NEXT'.
Please suggest if there is any way out to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Appu,
Even if you restrict the scope using the XDIM statement, your script will just run the number of times as per the for loop. Actually, in reality, the same calculation is happening again and again, in your code; since your calculation is not based on the time member.
To use the for loop effectively, you need to incorporate the time member in your calculation.
Please look at the below sample code:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = %TIME_SET%
*FOR %TIM_MEM%=%TIME_SET%
 *WHEN P_ACCT2
 *IS "OSDU"
 *REC(EXPRESSION=<CALCULATION>,P_ACCT2="COGSUIPSAO")
 *ENDWHEN
*NEXT
And in your calculation, you can use statements like
([P_ACCT2].[ASSTCAINVURO],TMVL(1, [TIME].[%TIM_MEM%]))
This will ensure that everytime (as per the for loop), the calculation works on separate set of data.
Hope you got the idea.

Script Logic like a function

Hi all,
I want to execute a load of data from a year and actual version to year + 1 and budget version based in some assumptions filled in another input schedule. I thought that is possible using a script logic, so i create the script and i don´t know how to call it, Just from de the DEFAULT.LGF but is not my idea for this, cause every change in the data will execute this calculation.... Thats is the scenario:
Input Schedule
Time 2011.JAN
========== Budget
Account% 5%
Real data Query
Time 2010.JAN
==========Actual
Account1____100
What i want
Time 2011.JAN
============BUDGET
ACCOUNT1 105
There is another way to do that? I
Thanks

Hi,
For executing a script logic, you need to follow few steps.
1. Create an SSIS package to call your script logic in business intelligence development studio (BIDS) - (please refer to the SSIS package for currency conversion)
2. Create a DM package to call the above SSIS package (please refer to the DM package for currency conversion)
You can run the above DM package to execute your script.
Hope this helps.

BPC 10.0 Script Logic: Combination of *FOR *WHEN *LOOKUP

Hi experts,
I'm working on a requirement to copy values from one model to another and aggregate to values.
Basically my script looks like that:
*LOOPUP OTHER_MODEL
*DIM VERSION = VERSION
*DIM TIME = TIME
*FOR %LOOP_CST% = %COSTCENTER_SET%
*DIM CST_%LOOP_CST%: COSTCENTER = %LOOP_CST%
*NEXT
*ENDLOOKUP
*FOR %SEL_CST% = %COSTCENTER_SET%
     *WHEN COSTCENTER
     *IS = %SEL_KST%
          *WHEN COST_TYPE
          *IS = "CST_NA"
               *REC(EXPRESSION = LOOKUP(%SEL_CST%), COSTCENTER = [COSTCENTER].AGGR_LEVEL, CURRENCY = "CURR_NA")
          *ELSE
                *REC(EXPRESSION = LOOKUP(%SEL_CST%), COSTCENTER = [COSTCENTER].AGGR_LEVEL, CURRENCY = "EUR")
          *ENDWHEN
     *ENDWHEN
*NEXT
*COMMIT
Unfortunately, this is not working.
If I include the for-loop inside the when-loop it is working. However, the values are multiplied based on the number of records.
Is there another possibility to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Benjamin

Good Morning.
First of all thank for answering and sorry for the incomplete code.
It was only a test, I was trying to do a more dificult script but given the error I tried to simplify as much as posible the code.
The complete problem it's that I have two models (Contracts and Planning). In one of them (Contracts) the user have to introduce values in UNITS level of dimension TIME.
An example of data would be:
DIMENSION ACCOUNT_RS = PRICEM2
DIMENSION TIME = 2014.UNITS
With value = 50
In another model (Planning) I have values for another member of dimension ACCOUNT_RS for example:
DIMENSION ACCOUNT_RS = PERCENTAGEARENT
DIMENSION TIME = 2014.JAN
Value = 0.5
DIMENSION ACCOUNT_RS = PERCENTAGEARENT
DIMENSION TIME = 2014.FEB
Value = 0.3
DIMENSION ACCOUNT_RS = PERCENTAGEARENT
DIMENSION TIME = 2014.MAR
Value = 0.4
What I am trying to do is to read from model Contracts the value for the dimension ACCOUNT.
For doing this I tried to build a LOOKUP to the model Contracts in the following form:
//JAN, FEB ...
*SELECT(%MON_SEL%,MONTHNUM,TIME,LEVEL= MONTH)
//2014, 2015...
*SELECT(%YEA_SEL%,YEAR,TIME,LEVEL = YEAR)
*LOOKUP Contracts
*FOR %YEA_ACT% = %YEA_SEL%
*FOR %MON_ACT% = %MON_SEL%
//TIM_2014.JAN, TIM_2014.FEB
*DIM TIM_%YEA_ACT%.%MON_ACT%:TIME = %YEA_ACT%
//ACS_2014.JAN, ACS_2014.FEB
*DIM ACS_%YEA_ACT%.%MON_ACT%:ACCOUNT_RS = PRICEM2
*NEXT
*NEXT
*ENDLOOKUP
*WHEN ACCOUNT_RS
*IS PERCENTAGEARENT
*FOR %YEA_ACT% = %YEA_SEL%
*FOR %MON_ACT% = %MON_SEL%
*WHEN TIME
*IS %YEA_ACT%.%MON_ACT%
//2014.JAN ..
*REC(EXPRESION = LOKKUP(ACS_%YEA_ACT%.%MON_ACT%) )
*ENDWHEN
*NEXT
*NEXT
*ENDWHEN

How To Set the Resultstate of Business Logic CO for Loop Decision Action

Hi,
I'm using a pre-conditional loop block in my GP process and using a Business Logic CO for the loop decision action. My expectation is the business logic CO should be executed at background and based on its resultstate the loop flow will happen. I've 2 resultstates in the loop decision (bus logic CO) - Continue and Break. I'm setting these two resultstates in the following way :
Continue : BOOL(@currentLevel < @totalLevel)
Break : !BOOL(@currentLevel < @totalLevel)
currentLevel and totalLevel are the two input parameters (unsigned int type) of the business logic CO. If I test the CO it works fine and displays the correct resultstate. But at runtime the process gets paused at the loop decision action CO. I see the loop decision action link in my GP workcenter and UWL and on clicking of it nothing happens. If I refresh the screen still it's there as before.
Anybody who can throw any light on this issue will be highly appreciated. And reward points guranteed for any help to solve the issue
Thanks in advance,
Dipankar

Hi,
Well I solved this issue myself ! After lot of research I found out that the resultstates should be in all small case continue and break and NOT Continue or Break.
But now I've a different issue:
I've an initial action under a sequential block. Then the pre-conditional loop block with a loop decision action and a loop body block(seq block).
The expectation is initially the decision action should get the output param passed by the initial action and then in the iterations it will get the values passed by the output params of the loop body action. To achieve that I have mapped the output param of the initial action to the input param of the decision action and the input and output param of the loop body action. But it seems that the loop decision action though mapped to both the output of the initial action and the loop body action takes the value only from the initial action over the iterations and the values from the loop body action are not getting passed to the loop decision action. The context parameter value of the loop decision action remains static and it becomes an infinite loop.
Any help to resolve this issue will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dipankar

Logic error in for loop

I have a JSP form which list modules that student can take. Some of these modules have prerequisite and some do not.
In order to successfully register a student, I have a number of requirements e.g. must not be already register; the registration date must not have passed etc.
My problem is in my code logic. For example, when a student selects a module, which does not have a prerequisite, and a module, which has a prerequisite and click on the Register button, an Error.jsp page is displayed because he has not satisfied the prerequisite for the second module.
What the program does is that it registers the first module which dose not has a prerequisite and display the Error.jsp page.
This is confusing for the user because they expect to do the process again and do not know that the first module has been register successfully.
Here is my code
private int enroll()throws SQLException,IOException
 // Get the check box values
 String checkboxNames[] = request.getParameterValues( "checkbox" );
 moduleVector = (Vector) session.getAttribute( "moduleVector" );
 //Get the student bean
 studentBean = (StudentBean) session.getAttribute( "studentBean" );
 boolean isEnrolled = false;
 String studentId = studentBean.getStudentId();
 int maxModule = Integer.parseInt(studentBean.getMaxModule());
 for (int i = 0; i < checkboxNames.length; i++) {
 String moduleId = checkboxNames;
// First, make sure that this student is not already
// enrolled for this module, and he/she has never
// taken and passed the module before.
isEnrolled = srsBean.isEnrolledIn( moduleId, studentId );
if (isEnrolled){
session.setAttribute("pre_enrolled", moduleId);
return PREVIOUSLY_ENROLLED;
// Now we make sure that the registration date has not
// already passed
Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance();
int rightNowMonth = rightNow.MONTH;
int rightNowDay = rightNow.DAY_OF_MONTH;
if ( rightNowMonth > Constants.REGISTER_DATE_MONTH ) {
return PASSED_REGISTER_DATE;
}else if( rightNowMonth == Constants.REGISTER_DATE_MONTH ) {
if ( rightNowDay > Constants.REGISTER_DATE_DAY ) {
return PASSED_REGISTER_DATE;
int noModule = srsBean.noModuleEnrolledIn( studentId );
// Now we make sure we don't erroll student on more
// modules that the are allowed to do.
if (!(noModule < maxModule)){
// convert maxModule into string so we can use setAttribute
String max = String.valueOf(maxModule);
session.setAttribute("exceed_max_no", max);
return EXCEEDED_MAX_NO_MODULE;
// if there are any prerequisites for this module, check
// to ensure that the student has completed them.
if ( srsBean.hasPrerequisites(moduleId)) {
Enumeration e = srsBean.getPrerequisites(moduleId);
while ( e.hasMoreElements() ) {
String pre = (String) e.nextElement();
// See if the Student's Transcript reflects
// successful completion of the prerequisite.
if (!srsBean.verifyCompletion(moduleId, studentId)){
session.setAttribute("prereq_not_sat", moduleId);
return PREREQ_NOT_SATISFIED;
// if we made it to here in the code, we're ready to
// officially enroll the student.
srsBean.enroll( studentId, moduleId );
return SUCCESSFULLY_ENROLLED;
How can i fix this problem ?

1. well first check whether all modlues can be registered..
2. you need to remove that in your for loop
srsBean.enroll( studentId, moduleId );
3. if all conditions are satisfied.
for (int i = 0; i < checkboxNames.length; i++) {
String moduleId = checkboxNames;
srsBean.enroll( studentId, moduleId );
}4. put the above code before
return SUCCESSFULLY_ENROLLED;

Creating a loop for this working script

I am successfully using this script I found to extract hyperlinks from RTF text:

I am really new to applescript .... maybe there is something missing in the actual writing part of the script?
Thanks
I just tried copy/paste the script, it works well here.
Uses the "on error" in the script, and the history of the editor to know the error.
like this
    on error tError
          log "Error : " & tError
          try
               close access file open_target_file
         end try
         return false
    end try
end writeTo
In the "AppleScript Editor" :
1- click on the tab "Event Log"
2- Run the script
3- Check the text in "Event Log" to know the error.

Script logic not working for GL account with Zero balance

Dear Experts,
I have a scenario where the GL account balance in ECC is 0 and when a script logic runs in BPC the same should capture a closing balance as "1".
Though I have written the below logic, this is not getting executed and writing back the value as "1".
Kindly help me on the same.
*WHEN ENTITY
*IS "ABC"
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS "20300000"
*REC(EXPRESSION = 11, ACCOUNT = 20300000,FLOW = F99, ENTITY = ABC, PROFITCENTER = 130010 , INTERCO = I_NONE , CONSOSCOPE = G_NONE, CURRENCY = LC ,CATEGORY = ACTUAL, AUDITID = INPUT)
*ENDWHEN
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
Regards,
Shilpa

Hello Vadim Kalinin,
Thanks for the very swift help.
Merger of the client happened in 2007. ECC is using the " 20300000- change in fair value " account to record both pre-acquisition and post-acquisition values.
Since the treatment of pre-consolidation and post consolidation reserves is different the split of the amount between pre and post-acquisition values has to be done. For the same post acquisition value is reduced from this account using a script logic as below.
WHEN FLOW
*IS "F99"
*WHEN ENTITY
*IS "ABC"
*REC(EXPRESSION = ([ACCOUNT].[20300000] -3258603),ACCOUNT = 20300000,FLOW = F99, INTERCO = I_NONE , CONSOSCOPE = G_NONE ,CURRENCY = LC ,CATEGORY = ACTUAL )
This logic worked when the account has a figure, but in July 2014 in ECC the account had a transaction and the balance has become Zero. Until this account has a figure this pre acquisition logic is not working.
For making this work, I am trying to write a new logic to make the balance of this account as "1" in BPC through the script logic.
Kindly suggest me on the same.
Regards,
Shilpa

Nested for loop logic

I am trying to create a triangle with for loop. i wrote this codepublic class Test {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 for(int x = 1; x <= 6; x++) {
 for(int y = 1; y <= (x*2-1); y++) {
 System.out.print("x");
 System.out.println("");
}and i got answer like this
x
xxx
xxxxx
xxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxx
but what i am trying to do is that will strat showing the results from the middle.
___X___
__XXX__
something like that. Need some explaination or hint what i am missing. (underscores are not part of my program:))
thanks

So since the spaces look right now, lets step through the plus loop
for(k = i; k <= i*2-1; k++)
 System.out.print("+"); First time starting to go through the loop i is 0.
So 0 is not <= -1 [0*2-1 = -1] so no pluses get printed on the first time through.
the second time starting to go through the loop i is 1.
So first time through 1 is <= 1 [1*2-1 = 1] so print a +.
Second time through 2 is not <= 1, so we end with just one +.
The third time starting the loop i is 2.
So first time through 2 is <= 3 [2*2-1 = 3] so print a +.
Second time through 3 is <= 3 so print another +.
Third time through 4 is not <= 3 so we end with just two +s.
Uh oh, we wanted three s not two s, where did we go wrong? Let's try one more and see if we can see it.
The fourth time starting i is 3.
So first time through 3 is <= 5 [3*2-1 = 5] so print a +.
Second time through 4 is <= 5 so print another +.
Third time through 5 is <= 5 so print another +.
Fourth time through 6 is not <= 5 so we end with just three +s.
Now we have a choice, we can get mad and start throwing stuff and screaming at the stupid computer for doing it all wrong, or we can realize the problem is somewhere in the code and we can find it and fix it.
What do you think?
JSG
EDIT: Note: you actually have two problems displayed here, both should be obvious but one is slightly hidden in the output until you fix the other. Both should have made themselves clear if you had done a simple step through yourself. As i demonstrated it is really easy to do and something you better get real good at if you want to be a good programmer.

Script Logic: Using a property in MDX *REC statement (BPC NW)

Hi,
Is it possible to use a Property in an MDX statement without using *LOOKUP() function? I have script successfully working but it takes 15 minutes to execute and would like to speed it up.
I understand that [DIMENSION].[MEMBER].Property is not valid syntax, and do not believe NW has any other functions to resolve the issue, except *LOOKUP which takes a long time.
Specific Example is below:
I have a piece of script that successfully splits JV Expense by customers. A Profit Share planning driver determines the percentage that each customer is entitled to. Typically this will be 100%, but could be 50% between two customers.
The PROFIT SHARE planning drivers records, and PARTNER_INCOME transactional records are below:
ACCOUNT
ENTITY
PARTNER
SIGNED DATA
PROFIT_SHARE
UK_001
PARTNER_A
0.5
PROFIT_SHARE
UK_001
PARTNER_B
0.5
PROFIT_SHARE
UK_002_PLANNING_DRIVERS
PARTNER_B
1.00
PARTNER_INCOME
UK_001
NO_PARTNER
$5,000
PARTNER_INCOME
UK_002
NO_PARTNER
$5,000
UK_001 has two partners that are each entitled to 50% of the $5,000 NET PROFIT.
For UK_002, one one single Partner is entitled to 100% of the $5,000 NET PROFIT.
Using script logic, you can scope the Profit Share account (PROFIT_SHARE) - , and use a *REC statement to multiply this by the driver. It would look like:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT = PROFIT_SHARE
*WHEN ACCOUNT
IS *
*REC (EXPRESSION = %VALUE% * ([ACCOUNT].[PROFIT_SHARE],[PARTNER].[NO_PARTNER]), ACCOUNT = PARTNER_PROFIT_SHARE)
*ENDWHEN
This wouldn't be a problem if the Planning Driver is always stored on the same Entity that the Income is stored on, but for UK_002, the planning driver is stored on another Entity - which is stored in a the PLAN_DRIVER_REF property of the entity. It should use UK_002_PLAN_DRIVERS
ID (Entity)
PLAN_DRIVER_REF
UK_001
UK_002
UK_002_PLAN_DRIVERS
UK_002_PLANNING_DRIVERS
In this scenario, we need to switch out the Entity used in the MDX, however I do not believe you can use a property in MDX - can anyone confirm?
I have currently implemented the *LOOKUP functionality to loop through, changing each *LOOKUP partner for each loop.
Lookup:
*LOOKUP PLANNING_JV_US
*FOR %LOOP_ASLS% = %ASL_LOOKUP_LOOP_VARIABLE%
*DIM LOOK_%LOOP_PARTNERS%:ACCOUNT = "PROFIT_SHARE"
*DIM LOOK_%LOOP_PARTNERS%:PARTNER= %LOOP_PARTNERS%
*NEXT
*DIM ENTITY = ENTITY.PLAN_DRIVER_REF                   //   Use PLAN_DRIVER_REF Property of Entity
*ENDLOOKUP
Scope and *REC:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT = PROFIT_SHARE
*WHEN ACCOUNT

*FOR %LOOP_PARTNERS% = %PARTNER_LOOKUP_LOOP_VARIABLE%      // 1000 Partners
*REC(EXPRESSION = %VALUE% * LOOKUP(LOOK_%LOOP_PARTNERS%), PARTNER= %LOOP_PARTNERS%, ACCOUNT = TCOJVSHAR_CALC, AUDIT_ID = PP_EXPENSE_BY_PARTNER)
*NEXT
*ENDWHEN
The problem with the above, is that because the Lookup is being generated for every single Partner, there are significant numbers of loops.
Does anyone know of another way this can be implemented in Script Logic? Otherwise we'll need to explore BAdI route.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
Use property in LOOKUP - will dramatically speed up the calculation without FOR/NEXT.

Variable in script logic

Follow is the script code from previous post
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT = ACC1
*FOR %My_Var% = %ENTITY_DIM%
*WHEN ENTITY
*IS *
*REC(EXPRESSION = (GET (ENTITY = %My_Var%.PROP1)), ENTITY = %My_Var%)
*ENDWHEN
*NEXT
I understand that both %My_Var% and %ENTITY_DIM% are variables, my question is how %My_Var% and %ENTITY_DIM% get the value during the process of the code, do we neeed to define the variable some where else before we use them? I remeber in FOX, we need to define the variable before we can use it.
also is there a difference if I use $My_Var$ to replace %My_Var%?

nilanjan,
Thanks for the explanation,I have another question regarding to the variables.
I need to get the YTD salary. in BPS the pseudocode code is as following:
data YTD_salary type amount
loop at each_month,
   YTD-Salary = YTD-Salary + current_month.
   if the YTD-Salary > FICA CAP.
   exit.
Endloop
How can we archive the same in BPC script logic with a variable to capture the YTD-Salary and pass it to next month?

Help in script logic

Hi Experts,
We are using SAP BPC 7.5 NW Version SP08. We are using a script logic that calculates the opening value of inventory(ASSTCAINVAMO) for each month except the 1st month of financial year for which the value is entered from an input schedule. The opening value of inventory of each subsequent months are calculated when the parameters for production(e.g. OSDA) are entered from a separate input schedule. The following script logic is written for the calculation:
*FOR %TIM_MEM%=%TIME_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME =%TIM_MEM%
*WHEN P_ACCT2
*IS "OSDA",
REC(EXPRESSION=[P_ACCT2].[ASSTCAINVAMO]+[P_ACCT2].[RDPA][P_ACCT2].[EFFA][P_ACCT2].[OSDA]-[P_ACCT2].[CONVAMUR][P_ACCT2].[RDPU][P_ACCT2].[EFFU][P_ACCT2].[OSDU]-([P_ACCT2].[SALQAMBC]+[P_ACCT2].[SALQAMM]),P_ACCT2="ASSTCAINVAMO",TIME=TIME.NEXT)
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
*NEXT
The loop works fine, but it seems the list of time values are not coming in proper sequence. For example, the loop is running for 2011.NOV before it iterates for 2011.OCT. So when it iterates for 2011.NOV, it is not getting the opening value for the month and consequently 2011.DEC's opening value is calculated assuming 2011.NOV's opening value to be 0. In the input schedule the months are in proper sequence.
Is there any way out so that the months come in proper sequence in the logic as well?
Thanks in advance for any help.

We had similar issue . we changed TIME members from Monthnames to numbers . i.e changed 2011.JAN to 2011.01 . Then you get correct result as you are expecting . Issue when using month names in combination of TMVL is that , instead of getting 2011. MAY for TMVL(1,2011.APR) , it gets 2011.FEB . TMVL function some how takes alphabetical order instead of taking month order . Not sure if this behavior is with service pack . But never saw any thread reporting this issue .
Anyways ,you can wait for other responses as i am too curious to know if any one faced this issue and how did they resolve.

Condition in script logic.

I need to copy the 'All Account' % value in datasource 'A' to 'All Account' , All costcenters with in same data source.
This I need to copy only for those cost centers, for which transaction data exist in data source 'B' for this period
How to achieve this in script logic.
Appreciate input
Regards,

In such case you need to modify that script in the following way.
Add
*XDIM_MEMBERSET COSTCENTER = <source cost center>
*SELECT(%ALL_CC%, ID, COSTCENTER, "[CALC] = 'N'")
at the beginning and put the following loop around *REC statement.
*FOR %ONE_CC% = %ALL_CC%
*REC(EXPRESSION = [DATASRC].[A], DATASRC = B, COSTCENTER = %ONE_CC%)
*NEXT
