Using substitution variables in calculations script
Substitution variables are global place holders for values that change often in our Essbase application. Substitution variables have many functions in Essbase, but in this recipe, we will use a substitution variable in a nested FIX/ENDFIX statement to copy data for the Year dimension member specified in our substitution variable. We will also use the substitution variable as the parameter in our ACCUM and MOVAVG range and financial functions. This recipe only applies to the BSO model.
