TMVL Function BPC 7.5

Question

Hello experts,
We need to replicate the behaviour of the copy opening package through script logic.
The varibles we introduce in the package are
        C_CATEGORY=ACTUAL
        GROUPS=LC
        TIME=2010.SEP (i.e)
In the COPYOPENING.LGF we need to read the record of the last period of the previous year of the variable: 2009.DEC
The record we find we should write them on the time we entered in the var Time of the package so we need to filter on the scope with a negative offset for the TIME dimension.
We need to do it dynamic to chose any period of the year and read the last period of the previous year.
We write next code without success.
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ENTITY = <ALL>
*XDIM_MEMBERSET C_CATEGORY = %C_CATEGORY_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET GROUPS = %GROUP_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = TMVL(-1,%YEAR%)
*WHEN C_ACCT.GROUP
*IS "BSA"
    *REC(FACTOR=1,FLOW="F_OPE",TIME=%TIME_SET%)
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
When validating this code returns the error "Invalid TMVL return value"
Any help?
Thank you in advance.
Regards

Hi,
TMVL function works on time members. Having said that, you need to have a member of the time dimension as the second argument of the function. The use of %YEAR% is invalid, because its a year and not a time member.
Hope you got the idea.
