Syntax
@MEMBER (String)
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
String | A string (enclosed in double quotation marks) or a function that returns a string |
Example
Typically, the @MEMBER function is used in combination with string functions
that are used to manipulate character strings to form the name of a member.
In the following example, the member name QTR1 is appended to the character
string 2000_ to form the string 2000_QTR1. The @MEMBER function returns the
member 2000_QTR1 and QTD is set to the value of this member.
QTD=@MEMBER(@CONCATENATE("2000_", QTR1));
