Disambiguation in Multiple-Element Rule Not Possible

Came accross this today when trying to use dimensional qualification (i.e. 'dim':'account'') inside a multiple-element group (i.e {'elmnt1,'elmnt2', 'etc'} ) on the left side of a rule.
This will error when saving with "Element Not Found":
[ { 'Account':'Sales' } ] = n: 1000;
This will error when saving with "Missing Right Brace":
[ { 'Units', 'Account':'Sales'} ] = n: 1000;
Either should work. 9.5.2 FP1 on AIX.

You are using the wrong syntax.
The correct syntax would be:
Code: Select all
[ 'Account':{'Sales' } ] = n: 1000;
Actually you don't need the { and } for a single element. The other statement should be:
Code: Select all
[ 'Units', 'Account':{'Sales'} ] = n: 1000;
Once again, you don't need the { or }.
This should work fine:
Code: Select all
['dim1':{'elem1','elem2'},'dim2':{'elemA','elemB'}]=N:100;
Etc etc.
Mods - this shouldn't be in the bug sub-forum.

Ahh-hah.... I don't recall that one being in the documentation (though I haven't read it since 9.4).
