Selecting Multiple Members for Allocation SP7

Question

Hi Experts,
Before upgrading to SP7 from SP3, I could select multiple product categories in my data manager for allocation, ex. PROD_CAT_001,PROD_CAT_001,PROD_CAT_001 and then my allocation would run smoothly. But after the upgrade, whenever I select more than one product category, I'm now encountering this error:
TOTAL STEPS  1
1. Execute formulas:       Failed  in 1 sec.
2. IC Eliminations:        completed  in 1 sec.
[Selection]
CHECKLCK= No
(Member Selection)
Version: ACTUAL
Entity: DMPI
Time: 2009.MAR
Product: PROD_CAT_001,PROD_CAT_002,PROD_CAT_003,PROD_CAT_004,PROD_CAT_005

Execute formulasError
Unclosed quotation mark after the character string 'PROD_CAT_001'. in:
select [ID] from mbrPRODUCT where [CATEGORY]='PROD_CAT_001
My logic is below:
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=USING/TOTAL
*DIM COPAACCOUNT   WHAT=[EXPORT_ALLOC_BASIS]='Stat Cases';  WHERE=<<<;      USING=COPAVVSCA;   TOTAL=<<<;
*DIM PRODUCT       WHERE=[CATEGORY]='%PRODUCT_SET%';   USING=<<<;   TOTAL=<<<;
*DIM CUSTOMER      WHAT=ALC_CG_01;  WHERE=[SHPTO_LEVEL]='ALC_CG_01';   USING=<<<;   TOTAL=<<<;
*DIM DATASRC       WHAT=11_INPUT;   WHERE=11_ALLOC;   USING=11_INPUT;   TOTAL=<<<;
*ENDALLOCATION
Hope you could help me,
Marvin

Hi nilanjan,
I revised my code as shown below but I still get the same error. I really want to avoid selecting all product categories since there would be 450 members so I don't use select statements. I just want to select the product categories that have values so there would be no need to loop all 450 members because it's causing my logic to hang when validate and save it. Any suggestion on how I can select product categories that have value only?
*FOR %PROD_CAT%=%PRODUCT_SET%
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=USING/TOTAL
*DIM COPAACCOUNT   WHAT=[EXPORT_ALLOC_BASIS]='Stat Cases';  WHERE=<<<;      USING=COPAVVSCA;   TOTAL=<<<;
*DIM PRODUCT       WHERE=[CATEGORY]='%PRODUCT_SET%';   USING=<<<;   TOTAL=<<<;
*DIM CUSTOMER      WHAT=ALC_CG_01;  WHERE=[SHPTO_LEVEL]='ALC_CG_01';   USING=<<<;   TOTAL=<<<;
*DIM DATASRC       WHAT=11_INPUT;   WHERE=11_ALLOC;   USING=11_INPUT;   TOTAL=<<<;
*ENDALLOCATION
*NEXT
*COMMIT
Thanks,
Marvin
