PeriodAlignment: MsMethodPeriodAlignment;
The PeriodAlignment property returns type of model calculation relative to period.
Executing the example requires that the repository contains a modeling container with the MODEL_SPACE identifier. This container must contain a model with the M_COLLAPSE identifier that is calculated by the method of pointwise collapse.
Sub UserProc;
Var
MB: IMetabase;
MObj: IMetabaseObject;
Model: IMsModel;
VarTrans: IMsFormulaTransformVariable;
Tree: IMsFormulaTransformSlicesTree;
Slice: IMsFormulaTransformSlice;
Selector: IMsFormulaTransformSelector;
Collapse: IMsPointwiseCollapseTransform;
Formula: IMsFormula;
Begin
MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
MObj := MB.ItemByIdNamespace("M_COLLAPSE", MB.ItemById("MODEL_SPACE").Key).Bind;
Model := MObj As IMsModel;
VarTrans := Model.Transform.Outputs.Item(0);
Tree := VarTrans.SlicesTree(VarTrans);
Slice := Tree.CreateSlice(1);
Selector := Model.Transform.CreateSelector;
Selector.Slice := Slice;
Formula := Model.Transform.Transform(Selector);
Collapse := Formula.Method As IMsPointwiseCollapseTransform;
If Collapse.PeriodAlignment = MsMethodPeriodAlignment.Beginning
Then Debug.WriteLine("Calculated at period start");
Else Debug.WriteLine("Calculated at period end");
End If;
End Sub UserProc;
After executing the example, the information about calculation type of model method comparatively to the period is displayed in the console window.
