MaxL Script Issue

Question

Hello everyone-
I have a need to track when data is posted to an account for the first time within certain departments. Individual departments are created as a combination of three dimensions: Company, LOB, and Entities. For example, I wish to track data that is posted to C601 or C602 in the company dimension, L10 in the LOB dimension, and D140 or D145 in the Entities dimension.
I'm a newbie in MaxL, but my thought is that creating a trigger in MaxL may be the best way of going about this. I tagged all accounts that currently have data in the departments I wish to track with a UDA of MktgAcct. What I want to do is create a spool if there is any data that is loaded to an account not tagged as MktgAcct within any combination of the members listed above. I'm trying to do this through a MaxL script and my attempts at this are below. I know what I have won't work, but it's an example of what I'm trying to do conceptually. Can anyone give me some guidance on making this work? Thanks so much in advance!
CREATE OR REPLACE AFTER UPDATE TRIGGER 'CCRCRPT'.'Finstmt'.'Mktg'
WHERE
CROSSJOIN({[Net Income].CHILDREN},
     {([Company].[C601], [Company].[C602], [LOB].[L10], [Entities].[D145], [Scenarios].[Actual], [Versions].[Final], [Years].[FY08])}
WHEN NOT(UDA([Accounts], "MktgAcct"))>0
THEN SPOOL Mktg_acct
END

I guess you are not that far from making it work.
Here some remarks :
In your "WHEN" condition you are using the "NOT" operator which is a "boolean" therefore returning TRUE or FALSE not a value.
As for your UDA(Accounts, "MktgAcct"), the MDX UDA function returns a set of members having the UDA=MktgAcct which is not what you want, I guess.
Maybe you could try smthg like this :
WHEN NOT(ISUDA(Accounts,"MktgAcct")) AND [Accounts].CurrentMember > 0
Hope it helps,
