Foreach

[Former Member]

Hello Friends,

Must fox always use looping ?

I mean, can fox coding be just {KF,A} = {KF,B} without any looping ?

What is the difference between this statement and

Foreach A.

{KF,A} = {KF,B}.

Endfor.

Please advise.

thanks in advance!

Hi,

FOREACH can only be done for characteristics which are marked 'to be changed'. In case you want to execute the FOX for all value of a characteristic, but not change it, you would not mark it 'to be changed' and the function will work on all values present for that characteristic.

Hi Mayank,

Do you mean that in the above example :

FPER=Fiscal Period.

FOREACH FPER.

(FPER,VerA,Amount)=(FPER,VerB,Amount)*1.2.

ENDFOR.

the chanracterisitc VERSION is checked in as To be changed?

yes without that you cannot do a Foreach loop on it.

Hi Pointez,

FOREACH is not essential but depends on your requirement. If you need to repeat the same action for multiple value of characteristic(s) then you can use FOREACH loop.

For exmaple: -

FPER=Fiscal Period.

FOREACH FPER.

(FPER,VerA,Amount)=(FPER,VerB,Amount)*1.2.

ENDOFR.

In this case the data from one version will get copied over to another version and this will be done for all the fiscal periods as per the planning package.

Hope it clarifies.

Cheers
