Distinguish Between Consolidations and Calcs at C: Level

[John Hammond]

Hi Folks

Does anyone out there know if there is a way to distinguish programatically between Consolidations and Calcs done at C: level ?

Its easy enough to do at N level you simply use ISCELLUPDATEABLE but I don't have a way of doing this at the C: level.

As ususal all suggestions gratefully received.

With the API you can determine if a rule is attached to a cell but not in TI.

Is this a theoretical question or have you come up against this and have an actual need to do this in a process, what are you trying to do?

Thanks Lots-a-Ram

We are simplifying rules in a production system and to confirm we do not alter the results we dump the calcs and do a before and after compare.

This is easy enough for N level calcs.

I think I have found a way round the problem for C level calcs in that we should only dump the slice that contains the C level calcs - this means that the number of consolidations can be greatly reduced and an output of manageable size generated. However it means a different slice for each calc whereas the N level calcs can be handled by a dump and compare of all N level calcs.

It would be handy if IBM would give us all the API functionality in TIs tho.
