Write to security cube with DBSS?

Post by mitch23 »

You would think this is simple but I'm trying to write (thru Excel) a string value to to the }ClientGroups control cube with no success (keep getting *KEY_ERR). I have checked the syntax, spelling, etc. a hundred times. What obvious thing am I missing?? Is there a prohibition on writing directly to control cubes perhaps?

=DBSS("ValidGroupName", "}ClientGroups", "ValidClientName", "ValidGroupName")

Where's the ValidServerName: in front of the cube name?
