IIF Usage - Script Logic

Hello Everyone,
Sorry to bother you, but i've one 'dummy' question for you.
I've written a script but there is a problem with IIF. IIF returns always true value, while i use it like that:
(I'm sending the whole code 'cause i don't want to misguide you. the logic may not be clever but, it does what it is meant to be.)
*XDIM_MEMBERSET MEASURES = PERIODIC

[U_ACCT].[#TMP] = IIF([U_ACCT].[ROUND] > [U_ACCT].[NA],[U_ACCT].[ROUND],[U_ACCT].[ROUND]+1)
But, if i test it at transaction UJKT, only the last part; the part after the last *COMMIT instruction, it works just fine.
What's wrong? i'll really appreciate your suggestions, thanks in advance for your help.

I think the problem was the patch level. AFter updating the server, it works fine.

Reg: Script Logic - REC Statement Variable usage

hi friends
Pl find enclosed the following code:
*WHEN TIME
*IS TMVL(-1,2011.04)
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS "EXP01"
*REC(EXPRESSION = [TIME].[2011.04]-%VALUE%,TIME = 2011.04,ACCOUNT = EXP01A)
*ENDWHEN
*ENDWHEN
The above code is working fine and result is extracted but i have hardcoded , ACCOUNT=EXP01A;
My Query is follows:
I have used
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS "EXP01"
In REC i want to use concatenation of "A" To account like EXP01&"A"
i know accunt & i want to concatenate "A" and use in REC statement like assign to variable
var1="EXP01" & "A" and use var1 in REC
*REC(EXPRESSION = [TIME].[2011.04]-%VALUE%,TIME = 2011.04,ACCOUNT = var1)
i am not sure the syntax (Whether we need to put in strings)
Also if EXP02 then var1="EXP02"&"A" and so on
In fact i want to make this for all members in Account Dimenstion as generalised.
Pl. verify and suggest best possibility
Thanx & Rgds
Srinath

Hi Krishna
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT AS %ACC% = EXP01
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS %ACC%
REC(EXPRESSION = %VALUE%2,TIME = 2011.04,ACCOUNT = %ACC%A)
*ENDWHEN
Is it required to add EXP01A as below?
XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT AS %ACC% = EXP01, EXP01A
Also In Generalized code you have mentioned:
Instead of Hard Coding EXP01, EXP02 can i have hierarchy of all EXP , so that if any new account added in dimension, there will be no change in script logic. Pl. can you share how to use the same.
If above code needs to be generalised, *FOR *NEXT can be used .
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT AS %ACC_LIST% = EXP01,EXP02,EXP03,EXP04
*FOR %ACC_MBR% = %ACC_LIST%
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS %ACC_MBR%
REC(EXPRESSION = %VALUE%2,TIME = 2011.04,ACCOUNT = %ACC_MBR%A)
*ENDWHEN

Use of LEFT in Script Logic

I am having one doubt reagrding usage of excel function like LEFT, MID, RIGHT in script logic of SELECT Statement.
Let me know with example if its possible.
I tried the below statement:
*SELECT(%EQACC%,"ID","ACCOUNT","LEFT(ID,6)='BE9001' AND CALC='N' AND ID<>'BE9001010'")
But it throw the error as "invalid select statement"
Anurodh

Anurodh,
what you are trying to do is not supported. As a workaround you can try to create a new property in the dimension (for example IDSHORT), putting in this filed just the first 6 characters of the ID and you can filter on it like in the following example:
*SELECT(%EQACC%,"ID","P_ACCT","IDSHORT='CE0004' AND CALC='N'")

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

[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,

Conditional Checking in Script Logic

Could anyone please kindly enlightened me how I could code the following in the script logic?
Scenario:
IF A > 0, THEN B = C * D
I have tried with SELECTCASE statement statement but all wouldn't work, I keep getting errors...
SELECTCASE:
*SELECTCASE [P_ACCT].[0005]
*CASE > 0
*REC(EXPRESSION= ([P_ACCT].[0004] * [P_ACCT].[0003]), P_ACCT=0001)
*ENDSELECT
Error:
UJK_VALIDATION_EXCEPTION:Unknown or unimplemented keyword "*REC(EXPRESSION=IIF([MATERIAL].[LDG0005]=>0,([MATE"...
Thank you very much in all advances.
Best regards,
Yen Li

Hi Yen Li,
Applying SELECTCASE - ENDCASE combination would not produce the desired results. Instead, use Validation Business Rules - by setting up Validation Rules and Validation Rules Details and run the Stored Procedure SPRUNVALID from the Default Logic to execute these validation rules. Call the Stored Procedure by the following syntax:
RUN_STORED_PROCEDURE=SPRUNVALID(u2018applicationu2019,u2019categoryu2019,u2019currencyu2019,u2019%SCOPETABLE%u2019,u2019%LOGTABLE%u2019)
Your command: u201CIf P_ACCT.0005 is > 0, multiply P_ACCT.0004 by P_ACCT.0005 and post the product in P_ACCT.0001. Otherwise do not do anything.u201D will be shown in result!

Handling Ranges in Script Logic

Hi Experts
Is it possible to put logic to check a range of values in Script Logic.
For example, if I need to check if the value in Quantity Account is between 200 and 800, then only some Quantity Discount is calculated against this.
What command should one use for this
Any input would be very helpful.
Regards
Krishnendu

Hi Krishnendu,
I believe that you can use MDX or a BADI to do this. Using MDX, for example, the following should write 100 to the QUANT_DISC account in the event that QUANTITY is greater than 200 and less than 800:
[ACCOUNT].[QUANT_DISC] = IFF(([ACCOUNT].[QUANTITY]) > 200,IIF(([ACCOUNT].[QUANTITY])<800,100,0),0)
This is just example MDX code - you'll have to adapt and test yourself. I suggest using the script logic tester to speed the process. Performance may be less than ideal, and you can certainly implement this in a BADI in that event.
It would be nice if it were possible to do this using WHEN/IS statements in script logic, but at present conditional logic based on measure values is not supported in that context.

Package with script logic CANCELLED

Hi everybody,
I am trying to implement a very simple script logic that removes negative values from the Units account.
*XDIM_MEMBERSET C_CATEGORY=%C_CATEGORY_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIEMPO=%TIEMPO_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET MERCADO=%MERCADO_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ORG_VENTAS=%ORG_VENTAS_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CUSTOMER=BAS(TOTALCUSTOMERS)
*XDIM_MEMBERSET PRODUCT=BAS(00001)
*XDIM_MEMBERSET P_DATASRC=DRIVER
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT_SIM=Unit
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIPO_CLIENTE=BAS(TOTAL_TOP)
[ACCOUNT_SIM].[#Unit]=IIF(([ACCOUNT_SIM].[Unit])*(-1)<0, 0, [ACCOUNT_SIM].[Unit])
*COMMIT
When I execute it with the Data Manager the result of the package is "Cancelled". I have one large dimension ("Customer" with more than 2000 elements) but there are not too many records in the database now. However, when I restrict the number of elements, the package works fine. It seems like a memory issue, I don't know... We are using SAP BPC NW 7.0 SP5
Any idea out there? Is our logic not 'optimized' for BPC?
Thanks a lot,
Mr. Albert Mas

Hi Albert,
I think you're running into a dimensionality limit. I believe this was fixed in SP06.
In any case, it's easy to fix. Just add
*XDIM_MAXMEMBERS CUSTOMER = 1
after your other *XDIM statements.
You should be able to up this number a fair amount, depending on the number of members in other dimensions. In the script logic evaluation, there is code that multiplies the number of members in your memberset in each dimension and then attempts to assign the result to an INT datatype. I don't remember the size of the INT, but if you look at the short dump in ST22 of the SAP GUI, you'll see the code.
Hopefully that helps.

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
IS *
*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.

How to auto-update of script logics after adding new dimension members?

Hi Experts,
Just wanna ask if BPC has a functionality that would automatically update/validate and save my script logic whenever I add new dimension members. I've added new PL accounts but they are not automatically added to my calculated BS Net Income. I had to re-validate and save my logic for it to be included in my logic and for the amounts to be computed correctly.
Thanks,
Marvin

Hi Marvin,
There is no functionality as such. we need to configure the script as and when we make any changes in the dimension members.

Greater Than Function in Script Logic File

BPC Experts,
I've got a pretty simple script logic file to calculate salary amounts, overtime, etc. The purpose of this logic is for forecasting. I have two referenced dimensions, TIME and SCENARIO, where TIME.MONTHNUM is equal to its relative month number (eg: Jan monthnum = 1), and SCENARIO.CURRMONTH is equal to the relative amount of actual months data, (eg Jan currmonth = 0, Feb = 1) because if you are completing a February forecast, you have one month of actual.
The ACTUAL scenario is never touched, but after a month closes, we copy the ACTUAL data to, for example, FEB_FCST. So, after January closes, its actuals are copied to the FEB_FCST scenario so we can complete an actual/forecast (one month actual, 11 months forecast).
Currently, the default logic skips anything in the ACTUAL scenario, by stating "*WHEN SCENARIO, *IS <> "ACTUAL" yada yada yada.
However, when the default logic runs on the forecast scenarios, it takes the same inputs from the months that are copied over from the ACTUAL scenario and adds to the original amount, essentially doubling the value--ultimately causing an incorrect actuals number in the forecast scenario.
My script right now looks like this:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET DATASRC=INPUT
*XDIM_MEMBERSET PRODUCT=NO_PRODUCT
*XDIM_MEMBERSET SHIFT=NO_SHIFTS
*XDIM_MEMBERSET MEASURES=PERIODIC
*WHEN SCENARIO
*IS <> "ACTUAL"
     *WHEN TIME.MONTHNUM
     *IS > SCENARIO.CURRENTMNTH
          *WHEN ACCOUNT
          *IS "SALARIED_MANPOWER"
               *REC(EXPRESSION=((([ACCOUNT].[SALARIED_AVG_WAGE] * (1 + [ACCOUNT].[SALARY_TIMEAHALF]))* [ACCOUNT].[SALARIED_MANPOWER])),ACCOUNT="01100")
          *ENDWHEN
*ENDWHEN
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
When it hits line 9 (*IS > SCENARIO.CURRENTMNTH) during validation, it errors. How can I use a "greater than" function to dictate whether or not a given scenario should run default logic on a specific month?
If not, is there a different/better way to do it?
Thank you!
ABF

Hi Alex
Take this sample logic, check the properties in your Time dimension to trouble shoot your issue.
*SELECT(%CAT_VAR%, "ID", CATEGORY, ID= PLAN_APRIL)
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY = ACTUAL, PLAN, %CAT_VAR%
*SELECT(%CATMTH%, "STARTMTH", CATEGORY, ID= %CAT_VAR%)
*SELECT(%ACT_PERIOD%, "ID", TIME, MONTHNUM < %CATMTH% AND LEVEL = MONTH AND YEAR = 2010)
*SELECT(%PLAN_PERIOD%, "ID", TIME, MONTHNUM >= %CATMTH% AND LEVEL = MONTH AND YEAR = 2010)
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME= %ACT_PERIOD%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY=ACTUAL
*WHEN CATEGORY
*IS ACTUAL
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%, CATEGORY = %CAT_VAR%)
*ENDWHEN
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME= %PLAN_PERIOD%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY=PLAN
*WHEN CATEGORY
*IS PLAN
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%, CATEGORY = %CAT_VAR%)

SQL functions in Script Logic

I want to build a script logic but the dimensions that I am testing do not have the fields I want in the format I want. In my case I would like to test the "Start" property in the Employee dimension. The property represents the employee start date but is a var char in the format dd.mm.yyyy rather thna a date field. I want to test whether it is five years prior to the date being processed.
My time dimension has a year property and a monthnum property. Each of these are varchar. I can write SQL that would convert these to a date and compare them with the start property on the employee dimension.
Can I do iinsert SQL functions in the When statement. An example would be
*When convert(datetime, substring(employee.start,4,2) + '/' + substring(employee.start,1,2) + '/' + substring(employee.start,7,4))
Can I use SQL functions in the Is statement? An example would be
*Is <DateAdd(YY,-5 , convert(datetime, Time.Monthnum + '/01/'' + time.year)
Finally when I use such techniques and look at the log by using "show log" in the logic debugger I see no reference to the SQL I used. It is as if the generated SQL has not made use of my functions. Instead all I seee are the extract statements from the three fact tables. Is this normal? Is there a way to see what SQL is really being generated and run?
At the moment it seems my only option is to make changes, try running it and hope I get an output. If no records are written I can't be sure whether it is because embedding SQL function is not supported or because I have made some other error.

No, the "BPC SQL" script logic doesn't allow for this extensive use of real SQL within the scripting syntax. As a concept, it's best to think of "BPC SQL" script logic as, "this unique BPC logic syntax will generate real SQL code when it's executed."
There's very little real SQL that you can use within the syntax itself, and definitely not within the WHEN or IF statements. Nothing like cast, convert, substring, etc. (Except you CAN use these, a little bit, in a *SELECT statement. But I don't see how that will solve your current problem.)
Plus, when you consider how the logic engine processes a set of data, it's helpful to think of it in terms of selects & reading through a recordset. So in that regard, a SQL background can be helpful, in understanding the concepts. (Sort of helpful, except when it confuses you, or frustrates you since you don't have all the power you want.)
Anyway, to solve your problem, you might be able to restate the problem, and then use something like this code, which is valid syntax:
*WHEN TIME.TIMEID
*IS >= VERSION.FirstPlanMonthTimeID
In this case, FirstPlanMonthTimeID is set up in the version dimension as, for example, 20090400 (representing 2009.APR). This timeID is set by BPC automatically when processing the time dimension, and I need to ensure that my Version property value is set to match it.
A key point is that in BPC fact tables, the time dimension is stored as TIMEID (not ID, unlike all the other dimensions), and can be used for comparative evaluation in script logic WHEN/IF. The comparison property needs to be stored as an 8-digit integer value. If your time dimension has days in it (along with months), check the TIMEID after processing, and you should see the pattern for assigning values to TIMEID for days and months, etc.
Normally, TIMEID is assigned pretty sensible and stable values. If it doesn't meet your logic requirements, you can create another property (be careful of USERTIMEID, since that has a specific purpose in the system which I've never fully understood) and assign that whatever (integer) values make sense.

BPC 7.5 MS SP5 wrong numbers multiplying GET (A)*GET(B) in script logic

Hi experts,
We are migrating from BPC 5.1 MS to 7.5 MS SP5 and there have some scripts that are using GET function that retrieve wrong numbers. Particularly, it does not record the decimals figures.
Example1 (multiply): when A=2,3 and B=4,4, then AB=10,12. But doing this in script logic GET(A)GET(B)=10. It does not write the decimal figures.
Example2 (addition): when A=2,3 and B=4,4, then AB=6,7. But doing this in script logic GET(A)GET(B)=6. It does not write the decimal figures.
Particularly, the script we are executing is the following. This script worked ok at 5.1 but not at 7.5:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNTL= INFLA_AUX,INFLA_ACUM
*XDIM_NOSCAN ACCOUNTL = INFLA_ACUM
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY=%CATEGORY_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CURRENCY=LC
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TECHNOLOGY = %TECHNOLOGY_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET PEM=DESCENDANTS([PEM].[PEMTOT],999,LEAVES)
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME=DESCENDANTS([TIME].[XXXX.TOT],999,LEAVES)
*CALC_EACH_PERIOD
*WHEN ACCOUNTL
*IS INFLA_AUX
     *WHEN TIME.YEAR
     *IS = PEM.YEAR
*REC(EXPRESSION=1,NOADD,ACCOUNTL=INFLA_ACUM)
            *IS < PEM.YEAR
*REC(EXPRESSION=0,NOADD,ACCOUNTL=INFLA_ACUM)
            *IS > PEM.YEAR
*REC(ACCOUNTL=INFLA_ACUM,NOADD,EXPRESSION=GET(ACCOUNTL="INFLA_ACUM",TIME=PRIOR) * GET(ACCOUNTL="INFLA_AUX",TIME=PRIOR))     //in this sentence!!!!!!
          *ENDWHEN
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
We have SIGNED_DATA_FORMAT (25,10) in the application parameters.
Many thanks for your attention.

Use of comments in script logic / BADI

Hi,
Does anyone knows whether one can read the comments entered in an input schedule in a script logic or BADI? Depending on the text entered in a comment, a certain planfunction has to be executed during save ...
the user should be able to easily change a dimension value in an input schedule:
Product    Product group    Key figure 1     Key figure 2
A             A1                     10                       30
-> the user easily needs to change the product group from A1 into B1 . When doing so the values of key figure 1 and 2 need to be copied to the new product group and the original values on A1 have to be removed. we cannot set up the product group as a propoerty since one should be able to compare multiple versions with different assignments ... So we were thinking to add an additional comment column in which the new value can be assigned to. When save, it should read the comment and perform the planfunction ... Would this be possible?

HI D-
Possible, but you would probably need to create a Badi to accomplish all the logic...
For a start, you would need to be able to find the comments...the naming convention for the dynamic comment table is:
/1CPMB/application_set_prefixapplication_prefixCMT
The two character application_set_prefix can be identified from the table UJA_APPSET_INFO, and the two character application_prefix can be identified from the UJA_APPL table.
Once the comment table is identified you could create a custom Badi to look up comment information to direct processing of specific records.

Logical Error in Script Logic

Hello Experts,
Please provide your guidance for the following scenario.
I need to calculate the 'Accumulated Depreciation' for every month, based on the amounts in the 'AccumDep' and the 'Depreciation' accounts.
In other words, the value of the Accumulated Depreciation for the month of Feb should be equal to (Accumulated Depreciation in Jan + Depreciation in Jan), and so on.
To accomplish this, I have written the following script logic.
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS AccumDep, Depreciation
     *FOR %MON% = 2009.FEB,2009.MAR,2009.APR
          *REC(FACTOR=1, ACCOUNT=AccumDep, TIME=%MON%)
     *NEXT
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
The above logic was validated without any 'syntax' errors. However, I do not see the desired results, as the Accumulated Depreciation is not getting updated every month. The amount from FEB appears for MAR & APR also.
Therefore, could you please review the above script and let me know if there are any 'logical' errors?
All your guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks...

Hi,
You are not getting the desired result because you are trying to aggregate the depreciation and the accumulated depreciation of the same month and post the result again in the same month. Lets say the code is working for 2009.MAR. You are trying to add the depreciation and accumulated depreciation of 2009.MAR. However, you still dont have the acc depreciation of 2009.MAR. You basically need to take the acc depreciation of the previous month.
You can try something like:
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS Depreciation
     *FOR %MON% = 2009.FEB,2009.MAR,2009.APR
          *REC(EXPRESSION = %VALUE% + ([ACCOUNT].[AccumDep],[TIME].Previous), ACCOUNT=AccumDep)
     *NEXT
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
You can have a property called Previous to store the previous month of each period in the time dimension.
Hope you got the idea.

How to copy applications using script logic with conditions

Hi,
I have two copy data between application A to application B, but only i want to copy the March's Data of Application A. Dimensions are the same in both applications
I'm going to use this script logic, ¿this script will work?
*WHEN TIME
*IS "2009.MAR"
*DESTINATION_APP=B
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Juan

Hi all,
Finally I solved the issue, the problem was that i haven't add this line in the script logic:
TASK(Execute formulas,USER,%USER%)
But now i need to pass in the script logic as an input: entity and time. Below is the code I prepare, it has no error but it doesn't work. ¿any idea?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Juan
*SSIS PACKAGE *
'DEBUG(ON)
PROMPT(RADIOBUTTON,%CHECKLCK%,"Select whether to check work status settings when running logic.",1,{"Yes, check for work status settings before running logic","No, do not check work status settings"},{"1","0"})
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,,,"Please select entity and time to copy data from LegalAppNceu to LegalApp",%ENTITY_DIM%%TIME_DIM%)
TASK(Execute formulas,USER,%USER%)
