Getting level 0 element

[winsonlee]

Grand Parent 1
-- Parent 2
--- Child 3
--- Child 4
--- Child 5
-- Parent 7
-- Parent 8


How can i create a while loop that when i specify Grand parent 1 element, it will return all the level 0 element which is Child 3, 4 , 5 , Parent 7 an 8? or when i specify Parent 2, it will return Child 3,4 and 5.

Hi
A 'while loop' in Turbo Integrator? How many levels are in the hierarchy?

Have you considered the ELISANC function?

Can you please clarify your question? In the title you're talking about "Getting Level 0 element". In the body of it you're saying that you want consolidations (which are not level 0 elements) returned as well ("Parent 7 an 8"). Which is it? The answer will be quite different depending on what your real intention is.

However in either case, you may want to look at the ElComp, ElCompN and ElIsAnc functions to see whether they point you in the right direction.

thanks for the tips..
got it working ...


[code1]
i = DIMSIZ(DimOrder) ;
WHILE( i > 0) ;
vElem =DimNM (DimOrder, i);
vLevel = Ellev (DimOrder, vElem);
vParent = ELISANC(DimOrder, Customer, vElem);

IF (vParent = 1 & vLevel = 0);
SubsetElementInsert(DimOrder, subOrder, vElem,1);
ENDIF;

i = i -1 ;
END;

parent 7 & 8 does not have any element under them, so it is still consider as Level 0 element.
