Copy issues

Postby trainee » Wed Sep 07, 2016 2:13 pm

"more than one source value with contraction disallowed" error pops up when I try to copy a bunch of variables from a quarterly sheet to an annual sheet using the "copy" function?

Really? Anyone know what's going on?

Hi Gareth, thanks for your response. Here is the code I'm running:

wfopen %GMFM

pageselect Quarterly

copy can_* slm_sourcedata_26th_actuarial::Annual\can_*

Appreciate your help!

I figured out what the problem was. I needed to assign the conversion standard. I changed copy to copy(c=a) and it was fine. Thanks anyway!
