AC34.1 - Compute Parameters

**Form Purpose
Use Compute Parameters (AC34.1) to define and maintain compute parameters.
Compute parameters are used with a compute statement to retrieve the data you
want to use with a given data dictionary name. For example, you can identify
the data to use for an activity-related data dictionary name by making both an
activity and account category selection from the following set of options:

- For an activity: an activity group collection, activity group, a list of
activities, or a single activity

- For an account category: a range of account categories or an account
category group

If an activity budget data dictionary name is used (such as YTDACB,
year-to-date activity budget amount), you can also specify the budget number
containing the data you want to use. The budget number specified in compute
parameters overrides any optional parameter specified with the data dictionary
name in the compute statement.

You can also use General Ledger data dictionary names in compute statements
for activity budgets. For General Ledger data dictionary names, you can
specify the accounting units and accounts from which you want to retrieve data
using any of the following General Ledger parameters:

- For a company and accounting unit: a company and an accounting unit, a
company group and an accounting unit, or a list of accounting units

- For accounts: a range of accounts or an account group

- For subaccounts:  a range of subaccounts or a subaccount group

Note You can use the same set of compute parameters with different compute
statements.
