How to use dimension property in REC statement?

Question

Hi,
In dimension ACCOUNT I have created additional property ZACC where I store "alternative" account numbers.
After I load actuals from BW to "regular" accounts I want to copy values to "alternative" accounts.
Regular accounts are hierarchy nodes and alternative are base members.
ACCOUNT dim values looks like that:
ID     ZACC
A1     A.1
A2     A.2
A.1
A.2
etc.
I wrote code below for that but when I validate I get message:
UJK_VALIDATION_EXCEPTION:Invalid dimension "ACCOUNT].[ZACC" in model ZXC
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME=2012.01
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ZKEYFIGURE=ZBALANCE
*SELECT(%ACC%,"[ID]",ACCOUNT,"[ZACC]<>' '")
*FOR %AC%=%ACC%
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS BAS(%AC%)
*REC(ACCOUNT=[ACCOUNT].[ZACC])
*ENDWHEN
*NEXT
Can you suggest me how to fix my code?
Thanks,
Andrzej

Hi Andzej,
I will try to explain in details. If we are talking about target member override in REC like:
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%,SOMEDIM=TARGETMEMBER,...)
TARGETMEMBER can be:
1. Some fixed single member
2. Variable like %VAR%, but this %VAR% will get the value from FOR/NEXT loop (simply duplicating lines of code).
Something like:
*WHEN SOMEDIM
*FOR %VAR%=MEM1,MEM2,MEM3 //lines between FOR and NEXT are duplicated
*IS %VAR%
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%,SOMEDIM=PREFIX%VAR%SUFFIX)
*NEXT
*ENDWHEN
Where PREFIX%VAR%SUFFIX - is the target containing fixed prefix or suffix and contents of %VAR%
The result of code processing this code will be evaluated to:
*WHEN SOMEDIM
*IS MEM1
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%,SOMEDIM=PREFIXMEM1SUFFIX)
*ENDWHEN
*WHEN SOMEDIM
*IS MEM2
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%,SOMEDIM=PREFIXMEM2SUFFIX)
*ENDWHEN
*WHEN SOMEDIM
*IS MEM3
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%,SOMEDIM=PREFIXMEM3SUFFIX)
*ENDWHEN
This code is VERY slow and ineffective!
In you case the code can be:
*FOR %AC%=%ACC% //list of nodes
//or *XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT=BAS(%AC%)
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS BAS(%AC%) //or * if XDIM
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%,ACCOUNT="PREFIX%AC%")
*ENDWHEN
*NEXT
but you will need special coding for target to support PREFIX
3. Member property containing correct member ID, like
SOMEDIM.SOMEPROPERTY
In this case the member property of the current record of WHEN/ENDWHEN loop will be used as a target.
Hope it's clear!
