Reg:Allocation by group

Question

Hi Experts,
                  I have an issue in allocation by groups , the user does not need to plan for certain base members of the profit center group.
       I maintained a property as DONTPLAN in profit center and i told them to maintain X there and i thaught of filtering in Script logic.
       But the problem is that i can filter the values using XDIM but i dont know the way to pass to Allocation logic.
*SELECT(%ACC%,"ID", "ACCOUNT", "TOPDOWNALLOC = 'Y'")
*SELECT(%CurrencyList%,"ID","RPTCURRENCY","CURRENCY_TYPE = 'R'")
*SELECT(%ENTI%,"ID","ENTITY","ID = %ENTITY_SET%" )
*SELECT(%CATE%,"ID","CATEGORY","ID = %CATEGORY_SET%" )
*SELECT(%TIME%,"ID","TIME","ID = %TIME_SET%" )
*SELECT(%PTC%,"ID","PROFIT_CTR","ID = %PROFIT_CTR_SET%" )
*SELECT(%PTC2%,"[ID]","PROFIT_CTR","[ DONTPLAN <> 'X']" )
*XDIM_MEMBERSET RptCurrency = %CurrencyList%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY = %CATE%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = %TIME%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT = %ACC%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET PROFIT_CTR = BAS(%PTC%)
*XDIM_MEMBERSET PROFIT_CTR  <> %PTC2%
//FROM HERE ON HOW CAN I PASS BASE MEMBERS VALUE TO ALLOCATION.
*FOR %ACCT%=%ACC%
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR = USING/TOTAL
*DIM ENTITY WHAT =%ENTI%.INP ; WHERE=%ENTI%; USING=%ENTI%; TOTAL=%ENTI%
*DIM CATEGORY WHAT=%CATE%; WHERE=<<<; USING=ACTUAL; TOTAL= <<<
*DIM ACCOUNT WHAT=%ACCT%_INP; WHERE=BAS(%ACCT%); USING=BAS(%ACCT%); TOTAL=<<<
*DIM DATASRC WHAT=INPUT; WHERE=INPUT; USING=UPLOAD; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM PROFIT_CTR WHAT=BAS(%PTC%_IN); WHERE=BAS(%PTC%); USING=BAS(%PTC%); TOTAL=<<<
*DIM COSTCENTER WHAT= NO_COSTCENTER; WHERE=BAS(1004322231); USING=BAS(1004322231); TOTAL=<<<
*DIM TIME WHAT=BAS(%TIME%); WHERE=BAS(%TIME%); USING=BAS(2009.TOTAL) ; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM RPTCURRENCY WHAT=LC; WHERE=INR; USING=IN; TOTAL=<<<
*ENDALLOCATION
*COMMIT
*NEXT

Hi Vinoth,
First of all, you can use properties directly in RUNALLOCATION,  like
*DIM PROFIT_CTR WHAT=[DONTPLAN]= X; WHERE=[DONTPLAN]=Y; USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
I'm not sure if you can use <> there, but can't you put some Property value on those members on which you want to plan instead of on those that you don't want?
Also you can put more than one condition on same Property and it will be interpreted as OR even thought you have AND there.
Hope this helps.
