How to change SSIS variables from DM Dynamic Script

Question

All,
I'm using BPC 5.1 SP8 on top of SQL 2005. I have some SSIS variables defined in my SSIS transformation that I would like to change using Data Manager Dynamic Script.
How can this be accomplished?
Thanks
Paulo

The most flexible way I know, is to set up your MODIFYSCRIPT parameter similar to the following. The prompts allow the user to key in anything they want (not necessarily base-member IDs) which you can then pass to the variables in the
PROMPT(RADIOBUTTON,%MODE%,"Select mode of operation:",,{"Door number one","Door number two"},{"DOOR_ONE","DOOR_TWO"})
PROMPT(TEXT,%Entity%,"Select an entity",,"")
PROMPT(TEXT,%Color%,"Select a color",,"")
GLOBAL(DB_NAME,%APPSET%)
GLOBAL(DB_SERVER,%SQLSERVER%)
GLOBAL(COLOR,%Color%)
GLOBAL(USERID,%TRIMMEDUSER%)
GLOBAL(TRANSTYPE,%MODE%)
GLOBAL(COMPANYCODE,%Entity%)
Then in the DTSX package there are variables for DB_NAME, DB_SERVER, COLOR, etc. Note that these names must be ALLCAPS or things don't work. Pass them on to your connection manager (to ease the transport from one environment to another), or wherever else you need them in the package.
I believe there's also a way to pass through the filtered, validated list of member IDs, but I don't have an example of that.
