Using WHEN/ENDWHEN with RUNALLOCATION

[Former Member]

Hi gurus!

I'm trying to run the following:

*WHEN VERSION.PLAN

*IS Plan

*RUNALLOCATION 1

*IS Forecast

*RUNALLOCATION 2

*ENDWHEN

And it looks like it is always run for both allocations no matter the value of the property , ignoring *WHEN.

Can you please confirm if this is feasible or when running allocations WHEN/ENDWHENS are not allowed

Thanks a lot

Sorry, but you can't combine WHEN and RUNALLOCATION by design. Some workaround can be proposed, but you have to clearly explain the desired logic of your calculations. Please read

Hi Laura,

In BPC WHEN doesn't play a role of IF statement. It just creates a scope for REC statement.

If you want to bypass part of the code try using XDIM_SKIPNULLCHECK.

In some cases FOR/NEXT can also work as IF...

Hello Laura,

When/Endwhen statement won't required while writing run allocations,I guess !!

Because in Allocation syntax itself we can mention source & Destination..

I can imagine some scenario when conditional execution of runallocation can be required. For example in default.lgf you want to execute allocation for Forecast and do not execute at all for Actual. This case is unclear...
