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.
