Values seen in logic debugger but not updating in SQL server after running

Question

Hi,
I am trying to run a simple logic file, where I am reversing the sign of a few EXP accounts. I have written a similar code
*when account
*is account1
*when %value%
*is <>0
*rec(factor=-1)
*endwhen
*endwhen
Now when I run the logic debugger I am able to see the rows that will be updated. However when I run the logic file through package and look in the database the records do not get generated. What could be the reason?
Also when I calculate an exp account through logic, the database stores +ve values in the database. Is there any other way to ensure that EXP accounts calculated thro logic are always store according to how they would be stored when sent through a schedule?
Thanks,
Hardik.

Hi,
As suggested by Jonathan in the previous post, you need a *COMMIT statement to post the calculated records into the fact tables.
Your observation is correct regarding the accounts. The accounts with ACCTYPE as INC are stored as negative values and those of EXP are stored as positive values. This is how the BPC is setup to create records by default. It is easy to rollup the accounts to the higher level accounts, just by summing the values.
So EXP type accounts are stored as positive values, be it sent from input schedule or posted by a DM package.
Hope you understand.
