10. Tip: The *COMMIT statement will end any execution scope defined by any previous *XDIM scopingstatements. If your script logic needs to continue after a *COMMIT, you will need to re-scope by usingadditional *XDIM statements.

11.When validating a script logic file with a DM variable, the current response in a BPC75NW SP04 system (andearlier) is to error on the line containing the ${DataManagerVariable}$. This occurs due to the fact that theDM variable is not really defined until runtime, and the system cannot determine if the variable contains acorrect value during the validation process. Therefore the best practice is to save the data file withoutvalidation and test for correct operation.

12. The IIF statement allows a conditional IF/Then/Else statement to be defined for MDX based syntax. TheIIF statements cannot be include *REC commands, but can be used within MDX tuple expressions.

13. %{DimName}_SET%:A system generated keyword is available for each dimension. This keyword holds theset of members passed to the logic engine for a given dimension (i.e. the initial scope). This keyword can beused as a replacement string anywhere in the logic.The format of this keyword is: %{DimName}_SET% , whereDimName is any valid dimension name in the application. For example: %P_ACCT_SET% for the dimensionP_ACCT.

14.The *SELECT statement will be executed before any other statements regardless of its actual position inthe script logic file.

15. WHEN/IS/REC/ENDWHEN cannot be written inside SELECTCASE/ENDSELECT .

16. Dynamic Properities such as HLEVEL, PARENTHn are not supported inside REC statement.

17. REC always needs to be accompained within WHEN/IS/ENDWHEN. Stand alone REC statements will nothave any effects .

18. You can not use SIGNEDDATA or any measure name in a WHEN statement to write condition .

19. Multiple LOOKUP blocks for same Application is not supported .

20.What command is used to convert the keyfigure model to account model ?

21. Script logic calculations cannot cross applications within on Appset – True or False.

22. Script Logic is used to calc data but only for base level data in the application. True or False.

23. The *REC instruction tells the program what to do once the specified criteria has been met. – True orFalse.

24. *XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT=CASH*XDIM_MEMBERSET RPTCURRENCY = LC*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = 2006.JAN*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY = ACTUAL*XDIM_MEMBERSET INTCO=NON_INTERCO*START_BADI CUST_CALC_ACCTACCT_FROM = 10000ACCT_TO = 10001*END_BADI

What is CUST_CALC_ACCT ?

40.What is default logic file ?Default.LGF file

Default Logic is a special logic statement that gets executed on every writeback to anapplication.

41.What are .LGF and .LGX files ?.LGF - an ASCII file that you use to create/edit your logic calculations and is accessedthrough the Script Logic editor in the Admin Console..LGX - the compiled logic file. Created by the system when you validate and saveyour logic. This is an executable version of the .LGF file. This is always generated onthe fly when you execute a .LGF file.

COMMIT .

47.Can you use data manager prompts in the script logic ? TRUE or FALSEAnswer;TRUE

Periodic,QTD,YTD

50.What are custom measures ?

Using ABAP program UJA_MAINTAIN_MEASURE_FORMULA

51.Custom measures can be created using ABAp program – TRUE or FALSE.

52.What is the difference between EVGTS and EVSND

EVGTS : The EvGTS (Get value and scale) function retrieves a data value based on the specified members, and scales

the value if the scale property is enabled on the dimension. The report templates provided in the sample application

set have a scale reference in the Control Panel area of the template.

This Send function references another cell and sends its value to the database when you select Send and Refresh

Schedules.The parameters specify the dimensions that identify where the data value is to be sent in the database.

EvSND returns the value from the database to the referenced cell. You do not need to add any EvGET functions to the

sheet to return values to the cell. Since the values are returned to the referenced cell, BPC sends only the cells that

have changed since the last send in the current session.

By putting the formula in the EvSND cell and not in the input cells, you decrease the chances of your formulas getting

overwritten or erased. To further protect the formulas, you may want to hide the EvSND cells in the input

schedule.This function takes members that not specified from the current view settings.

53. XDIM_MEMBERSET doesńt allowProperties.*SELECT is a second possibility to refer to properties needed in connection with theXDIM_MEMBERSET statement.XDIM_MEMBERSET doesńt allow Properties.XDIM_FILTER is one possibility to reference properties within the scope.

54. %DIMNAME_SET% is a variable which inherits the dimension memberfrom the current view. – TRUE or FALSE .

55.What are 4 types of methods to read the data ?

Ø RSDRI

Ø MDX

EVSND: EvSND

supports any number of FORNEXT loops in the body of the logic files. The*FOR Statement has to be accompanied by a variable. In the Example %KPI%is the user defined variable which was used for the Loop.

145. The SELECT statement is fairly limited, as it only supports the equalsign (=) , not equal to (<>) and cannot be used to combine multiple filtercriteria with AND or OR keywords.

146. SELECTCASE structures currently CANNOT be nested.

147. WHEN/ENDWHEN which has a much better performance then*SELECTCASE.

148. The syntax for dimension member formulas requires a square bracketaround the dimension and the member and separated by a period. The onlyexception is with the account dimension, where only the dimensionmember is needed.Standard arithmetic functions are available, such as addition (+),subtraction (-),multiplication (*) and division (/), as are the MDX keywordssupported by SAP NetWeaver BW. New with SAP Business Planning andConsolidation, upper and lower case letter sensitivity becomes importantfor dimensions and dimension members, sobe careful in your formulas!.

148. The SAP Business Planning and Consolidation default Solve_Order isequal to 3 for measures and 5 for members.

149. SPREAD:The Spread modeling option allows you to take a value andallocate it among selected destination cells. The value can be allocatedequally, or it can be weighted by a range of values. For example, you cantake the value 100 and spread it across a number of columns that representeach month of the year.

150. TREND:The Trend modeling option takes a value or percentage andgrows it by a factor among selected cells. This option places the sourcevalue in the first cell of the destination range. Each subsequent cell in thedestination increases by the amount or percentage specified.

151. WEIGHTED:The Weighted modeling option lets you allocate a set ofvalues by weighted factors in your spreadsheet. It allows you to take a setof values, grow them if desired, and then allocate the new amount basedon the relative weights of the selected cells. The destination range is thesame as the weight range. For example, you can weigh 12 months ofrevenue based on 12 months of cost of sales.
