Compute parameters

Compute parameters are used with a compute statement to retrieve the data you want to use with a given data dictionary name. For example, you can identify the data to use for an activity-related data dictionary name by making both an activity and account category selection from these set of options:


Activity	Account category
activity group list activity group a list of activities single activity	a range of account categories an account category group

If an activity budget data dictionary name is used (such as YTDACB, year-to-date activity budget amount), then you can also specify the budget number containing the data you want to use. The budget number specified in compute parameters overrides any optional parameter specified with the data dictionary name in the compute statement.

You can also use General Ledger data dictionary names in compute statements for activity budgets. For General Ledger data dictionary names, you can specify the accounting units and accounts from which you want to retrieve data using any of these General Ledger parameters:


Company and accounting unit	Accounts	Subaccounts
a company and an accounting unit a company group and an accounting unit a list of accounting units	a range of accounts an account group	a range of subaccounts a subaccount group

Note: You can use the same set of compute parameters with different compute statements.
