Report Script Help Needed

Question

Hi,
I have not written one in years and am having trouble with a fairly simple one (I think). Was wondering if you could take a look. Anyways we have 11 dimensions which may make this impossible due to performance. I basically need a report script to perform a data extract. Data requirements for each dimension would be:
Scenario: Budget
Version: Final
CCCC: Tot_CCCC (Rollup)
SCCC: Tot_SCCC (Rollup)
Charge_Type: Charge_Type_Total (Rollup)
Resource: NU_RESC (Rollup)
SAU_CAU_Facility: Zero level members of "NU_Consolidated"
Account: Zero level members of "TOTCO_FERC"
Activity: Zero level members of "NU_Actv"
Years: Children of "YEARS"
Periods: Jan to Dec only
Report format would suppress the PAGE thus Budget and Final would not appear.
Was also hoping to somehow suppress CCCC, SCCC, Charge_Type and Resource(Not sure if possible).
Thus format would look something like this tab delimited:
Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
SAU_CAU_Facility Account Activity Year 100 200 100 100 010 100 200 300 100 100 100 100
Here is what I have so far. I have not been able to get it to return any results even though I have loaded one row of fake data. Does anything jump out at you as to what I'm doing wrong? Appreciate any help you may have as I'm really stuck as it's been years since I have tried this.

One thing that may help - it looks like you're using both <DIMBOTTOM and <LINK for three of your dimensions.
<DIMBOTTOM "SAU_CAU_Facility"
<DIMBOTTOM "ACCOUNT"
<DIMBOTTOM "ACTIVITY"
You should just need the <LINK and not the <DIMBOTTOM. <DIMBOTTOM's can really kill report script performance.
Whenever I do these, I try to start small, and then open the report script up to more and more members to see what's affecting performance. I'd start with one year, one facility, one activity, one account, etc. Then slowly add in the full member specifications you want.
Hope this helps,
