Lookup using dimension variable

Question

Hi All,
I am having as logic script that does a lookup for two Accounts in another application:
*LOOKUP CHARGEABILITY
*FOR %LOOP_ACCOUNT_CHARGEABILITY% = TARGET_UTILISATION,TARGET_DAY_RATE
*DIM %LOOP_ACCOUNT_CHARGEABILITY%:ACCOUNT = %LOOP_ACCOUNT_CHARGEABILITY%
*NEXT
*DIM CAPABILITY = [PERSON].CAPABILITY
*DIM CATEGORY = "PLAN"
*DIM GRADE = [PERSON].GRADE
*DIM COMPANY = [PERSON].COMPANY
*DIM PLANPERIOD = "2011.01"
*DIM SUPPORT = [PERSON].SUPPORT
*DIM TIME = "2011.01"
*DIM VERSION = "100"
*DIM MEASURES = "PERIODIC"
*ENDLOOKUP
*WHEN RECORDTYPE
*IS 0
*FOR %LOOP_ACCOUNT_CHARGEABILITY% = TARGET_UTILISATION,TARGET_DAY_RATE
REC(EXPRESSION = %VALUE%LOOKUP(%LOOP_ACCOUNT_CHARGEABILITY%),ACCOUNT = %LOOP_ACCOUNT_CHARGEABILITY%)
*NEXT
*ENDWHEN
Now I want to make this statement dynamic introducing a variable for the accounts that I am looking up.
The code then looks as follows:
*SELECT(%ACCOUNT_CHARGEABILITY%,"[ID]",ACCOUNT,"[GROUP] = "CHARGEABILITY"")
*LOOKUP CHARGEABILITY
*FOR %LOOP_ACCOUNT_CHARGEABILITY% = %ACCOUNT_CHARGEABILITY%
*DIM %LOOP_ACCOUNT_CHARGEABILITY%:ACCOUNT = %LOOP_ACCOUNT_CHARGEABILITY%
*NEXT
*DIM CAPABILITY = [PERSON].CAPABILITY
*DIM CATEGORY = "PLAN"
*DIM GRADE = [PERSON].GRADE
*DIM COMPANY = [PERSON].COMPANY
*DIM PLANPERIOD = "2011.01"
*DIM SUPPORT = [PERSON].SUPPORT
*DIM TIME = "2011.01"
*DIM VERSION = "100"
*DIM MEASURES = "PERIODIC"
*ENDLOOKUP
*WHEN RECORDTYPE
*IS 0
*FOR %LOOP_ACCOUNT_CHARGEABILITY% = %ACCOUNT_CHARGEABILITY%
REC(EXPRESSION = %VALUE%LOOKUP(%LOOP_ACCOUNT_CHARGEABILITY%),ACCOUNT = %LOOP_ACCOUNT_CHARGEABILITY%)
*NEXT
*ENDWHEN
This, however, doesn't work. UJKT shows it is not able to resolve the Account dimension.
Looking at the example given in SAP Help, I don't quite see what I may have done wrong:
*SELECT(%CUR%, "[ID]", RPTCURRENCY, "[REPORTING]=Y")
*LOOKUP RATE
*DIM CATEGORY="ACTUAL"
*DIM R_ACCT="AVG"
*DIM R_ENTITY="GLOBAL"
*DIM TIME="2006.AUG"
*DIM MEASURES="PERIODIC"
*FOR %LOOP_CUR%=%CUR%
*DIM C_%LOOP_CUR%:INPUTCURRENCY="%LOOP_CUR%"
*NEXT
*ENDLOOKUP
*WHEN P_ACCT
*IS "CE0004010"
*FOR %LOOP_CUR%=%CUR%
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%/LOOKUP(C_%LOOP_CUR%), RPTCURRENCY=%LOOP_CUR%)
*NEXT
*ENDWHEN
Any ideas why this isn't working.
Thanks very much for your help.
Cheers
Matthias

Hi Gersh,
I'm getting closer. I have now tried to use the FOR/NEXT logic on 1 property and it works. I know want to include another. In this case it seems as if the LOOKUP works fine, but the WHEN/REC/ENDWHEN is not. It doesn't recognize my LOOKUP(%LOOP_CU%%LOOP_CO%).
Any suggestions have to solve this problem?
*LOOKUP ACTIVITYPLAN
*FOR %LOOP_CO% = %P_COMP%
    *FOR %LOOP_CU% = %P_CURR%
        *DIM %LOOP_CU%%LOOP_CO%:TRANSCURRENCY=%LOOP_CU%
        *DIM %LOOP_CU%%LOOP_CO%:ACCOUNT= "FULLCOST"
        *DIM %LOOP_CU%%LOOP_CO%:PARTNER="I_NONE"
        *DIM %LOOP_CU%%LOOP_CO%:COMPANY=%LOOP_CO%
        *DIM %LOOP_CU%%LOOP_CO%:SALESORG=%LOOP_CO%
        *DIM %LOOP_CU%%LOOP_CO%:PRODUCT=PRODUCT.PRODREF
    *NEXT
*NEXT
*ENDLOOKUP
*WHEN ACCOUNT
   *IS "QPURC"
               *FOR %LOOP_CU%=%P_CURR%
                   *REC(EXPRESSION=(%VALUE%*LOOKUP(%LOOP_CU%%LOOP_CO%)),ACCOUNT="529996")
                   *END
               *NEXT
*ENDWHEN
