Hi Clorida,

Not clear, may be between XDIM_MEMBERSET and IS?

XDIM_MEMBERSET will define the scope for records to be processed in WHEN/ENDWHEN loop. Then calculations will be done for each condition defined in *IS. In some cases (default.lgf) it's better not to change scope with XDIM_MEMBERSET - you have to use *IS.

Hi Glorida,

Xdim_memberset

This command allows the restriction of the initial scope to one or more specific values.

*XDIM_MEMBERSET Category = PLAN is entered, the execution scope is restricted to only records that have a category equal to “PLAN”.

The *WHEN/*IS/*ENDWHEN statements allow the script logic engine to determine if the record currently being processed, meets specific conditions prior to executing a specified set of additional instructions.

Please go through below doc.

Hope this will help you to understand.
