*ERR* when Alias in turned on

Hello,
I have the following structure in the product dimension

PROD GROUP
-> PROD CAT
-> (PROD CAT) (SUB-CAT)
-> (PROD CAT) (SUB-CAT) (PRODCODE)

I have the code below where TPByCatChild=(PROD CAT) (SUB-CAT) (PRODCODE)

ATTRPUTS(vsubproductname,DimName4,TPByCatChild,'ProdDesc');

And I have a rule that
['Code - Name' ] = S:
!Sub Product v2 | ' - ' | DB('}ElementAttributes_Sub Product v2', !Sub Product v2, 'ProdDesc');

But when I click the alias button the Name column for a few of (PROD CAT) (SUB-CAT) (PRODCODE) becomes *ERR*

Can anyone suggest where I could check to solve this problem?

Hello,

If your dimension attributes are loading as *ERR* there's probably an error in the Rule.

I never saw this *ERR* in different places than the cubes on cells where I used a rule and there was a logic error.

Take a look at your cube maybe you need to convert numbers to string to concatenate (not only using S:) or some cells have erroneous values.

If yet you can't solve this, used the Control Objects, by clicking in View > Display Control Objects and look for a Cube with name like:

} + ElementAttributes + Dimension name that you are trying to load the alias

You can use this control cube to load the Alias, you'll just need to create a rule to get the Alias from the Cube where you made the previous rule.

I hope it helps.
See you.
