How to Import Balances into FDM YTD Even Though ERPi Extracts in Periodic

Question

Hi to all,
I'have implemented the script below (provided by the support in knowledge share [ID 1077823.1]) to import data in YTD mode, but FDM only concatenate the values and doesn't sum the amounts (like an alphabetic string not like a numeric value).
I've mapped BEGIN_BALANCE_DR BEGIN_BALANCE_CR PERIOD_NET_DR PERIOD_NET_CR like dimension in the "Metadata -> Dimensions" tab and I've provided the correct mapping in the import format and in the mapping tables (like * to * mapping) but the problem persist.
There's anyone have any help on this topic? There's a VBScript instruction to correctly parse the dimension like a number and not like a string?
Function TestImport2(strField, strRecord)

PERIOD_NET_DR = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 50, 40, "|")
PERIOD_NET_CR = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord, 50, 41, "|")
'Do Some Math
TestImport2 = (BEGIN_BALANCE_DR - BEGIN_BALANCE_CR + PERIOD_NET_DR - PERIOD_NET_CR) * (-1)
End Function

CDbl wouldn't work for me... once I used the IsNumeric() it worked fine.
If IsNumeric(BEGIN_BALANCE_DR) and IsNumeric(BEGIN_BALANCE_CR) and IsNumeric(PERIOD_NET_DR) and IsNumeric(PERIOD_NET_CR) Then
TestImport2 = (BEGIN_BALANCE_DR - BEGIN_BALANCE_CR + PERIOD_NET_DR - PERIOD_NET_CR) * (-1)
End If
