Variable assignments using LOOKUP feature in BPC Script Logic

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

I am trying to run a script where the scenario is I want to lookup a rate from the system and then create a record using that rate. To retrieve the rate, I have used the lookup feature (script in 1.txt attached).

You will see that I have hard coded the time dimension. That works; however, I want to run the script using a time variable. To do so, I included the two lines currently commented out in the dynamic script, and marked the time statements in the LGF file as

TIME = %TIME_DIM%.

This doesn't work. It gives me an error saying "

RUN_LOGIC:Members invalid On Dimension(TIME)

"

Do I surmise that lookup functions dont work with variables?

regards

First about LOOKUP: If you don't specify some dimension in LOOKUP definition then the member of current record in WHEN/ENDWHEN loop will be used. Simply don't specify TIME in LOOKUP!

Second - incorrect advanced script:

PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,,,,"%TIME_DIM%")
TASK(/CPMB/ICDATA_LOGIC,SUSER,%USER%)
TASK(/CPMB/ICDATA_LOGIC,SAPPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(/CPMB/ICDATA_LOGIC,SAPP,%APP%)
TASK(/CPMB/ICDATA_LOGIC,SELECTION,%TIME_DIM%)
TASK(/CPMB/ICDATA_LOGIC,LOGICFILENAME,MP_CONVERSION.LGF)

Has to be:

TASK(/CPMB/ICDATA_LOGIC,SELECTION,%SELECTION%)

P.S. %TIME_DIM% contain the name of TIME dimension ("TIME" in your case) not members!

am guessing the answer is going to be this?

In general you can't read the value by LOOKUP and use it in some variable. No way!"

No relation to your case!
