Chapter 10 Creating Rules, Formulas, and User Functions

Error Message Description

Invalid member reference. You incorrectly entered a member reference. When this error

message occurs, check for one of these problems:

• The dimension name in the member referen ce is not spelled

correctly.

• The member nam e in the member reference is not spelled

correctly.

Invalid member reference syntax. Valid syntax is

[DIMENSION:Member].

A member reference uses invalid syntax. When referring

to members in rules, please make sure that the member is

fully qualified with a dimension name. The valid syntax is

[DIMENSION_NAME: Member N ame]. The brackets ([ ]) are

required.

Invalid number. The current rule contains an invalid num ber. When this is the

case, verify that:

• The number does not con tain any com m a s.

• The number does not contain more than one decimal point.

• If the number is negative, the minus sign precedes the number.

Syntax error. See “Syntax Error.”

Text not terminated by quote. The rule contains a text value that does not have a clo sing quote.

Text values must be enclosed within quotes.

The ARGUMENTS declaration must appear at the

beginning of a user function.

The ARGUMENTS function should be placed at the starting

block of the body of th e user function. Please check the syntax of

the ARGUMEN TS function.

See C

hapter 11, “Using Built-in Functions in Analytic Models ,”

ARGUMENTS Declaratio n, page 140.

This argument has not been declared in the

ARGUMENTS section.

You used an argument to a user function, in the body of the user

function, before declaring it in the ARGUMENTS section.

Please check the syntax of the ARGUMENTS function and

ensure that all arguments are declared before they are used.

Unbalanced parentheses The rule does not contain a closing parenthesis for every opening

parenthesis. For example, the expression A+(B*Cgenerates

this error because there should be a closing parenthesis following

Could not find the user function with the na me %1. The user function was referred to in a rule but was n ot found in
