When I try to apply a condition to a drill down the code that is generated does not seem to work for me:
=====================================================
TYPE=DATA,
COLUMN=N7,
TARGET='_blank',
FOCEXEC=app/sidebysideyeartoyeartransdets( \
ACCOUNT=N1 \
FUND=N2 \
FISCAL_YEAR='2011' \
FISCAL_YEAR_LESS1='2010' \
),
$
TYPE=DATA,
COLUMN=N7,
MACRO=RULE_CLASS_5CRT,
=====================================================


It defines column 7 twice. I changed it to the following and it worked as expected for me:
=====================================================
TYPE=DATA,
COLUMN=N7,
TARGET='_blank',
FOCEXEC=app/sidebysideyeartoyeartransdets( \
ACCOUNT=N1 \
FUND=N2 \
FISCAL_YEAR='2011' \
FISCAL_YEAR_LESS1='2010' \
),
MACRO=RULE_CLASS_5CRT,
=====================================================

Is my correction correct? Is there truly a "bug" in the GUI or am I just misusing it?

What is the "condition" which you are trying to apply? Consider the use of "WHEN", i.e.:

... WHEN=FIELD_NAME EQ 'THIS', ...

within the associated "TYPE=DATA" statement.

Thanks Doug for the input.

Kevin, have you got a chance to try Doug's suggestion? If you still think this may be a bug, the proper channel for assistance would be to open a case with Customer Support Services for further research. You may 1-800-736-6130, or access online at InfoResponse.

Cheers,

Kerry
