How to identify that a member is "Dynamic Calc" in script

Question

Hi there,
i wonder if there is a way to write a HBR that will do the following:
if([Member1] is dynamic calc)
do something;
elseif
do something else;
endif
where [Member1] is a variable passed from Planning form (squre brackets are ommited by editor).
I think it can be done with CDF and Japi IEssMember.EEssShareOption, but may be there is an easier way?
Thanks!
Dmitry

Glenn,
Thanks for the idea, yet marking all the members with storage type UDA would mean too much maintenance for me.
I eventually have done that with api. Here’s the code if someone is interested.
Thanks again,
Dmitry
static int getShareOption(String[] args) {
int shareOption=0;
try{
acceptArgs(args);
String appName = args[4];
String cubeName = args[5];
String memberName = args[6];
IEssbase ess = null;
ess = IEssbase.Home.create(IEssbase.JAPI_VERSION);
IEssOlapServer olapSvr = null;
IEssDomain dom = ess.signOn(s_userName, s_password, false, null, s_provider);
olapSvr = (IEssOlapServer) dom.getOlapServer(s_olapSvrName);
olapSvr.connect();
IEssCube cube = olapSvr.getApplication(appName).getCube(cubeName);
IEssCubeOutline otl = cube.openOutline();
IEssMember curMember = otl.findMember(memberName);
System.out.println("getShareOption: "+curMember.getShareOption().stringValue());
System.out.println("getShareOption: "+curMember.getShareOption().intValue());
shareOption=curMember.getShareOption().intValue();
otl.close();
otl = null;
} catch (EssException x) {
System.err.println("Error: " + x.getMessage());
return(shareOption);
}
