Clear package issues

[Former Member]

Clear package is allways shows by default 'all' in the selection. By mistake is users if they let the default prevails deletes /clears all in the intersection.

How to force the user to select some vales specifically for dimension like 'category' or 'time'.

Appreciate input

The default behavior of SELECTINPUT statement in the advanced script is to force only single dimension selection.

You can't do a lot!

One option is to use COMBOBOX with fixed list of members for some dimensions:

Another option is to use script logic to clear like:

*XDIM_MEMBERSET SOMEDIM=$SOMEDIMMEM$

*XDIM...

...

*WHEN CATEGORY //any dimension

*IS *

*REC(EXPRESSION=0)

*ENDWHEN

In this case you can use multiple SELECTINPUT statements in the advanced script with single dimension each (member selection will be enforced!). Then you will pass members using MEMBERSELECTION TASK to $$ variables...

Thanks Vadim. Just one alternative thought...

The default values in 'CLEAR' package is 'ALL' for every dimension.

Can it be empty by default for some of the dimension like 'CATEGORY', 'TIME'.

How to achieve this.

"Can it be empty by default for some of the dimension like 'CATEGORY', 'TIME'." - no!
