PM28599: DRILLING THROUGH ON DATES FAILS IF TARGET REPORT IS IN A FOLDER AND/OR PATH CONTAINING AN AMPERSAND CHARACTER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Reproducible in 8.4.1 FP2.  In analysis studio, when drilling
  through on dates (powercube to another powercube data source in
  this case), if the target report is in a folder or a path
  containing an ampersand "&" character, the drill through will
  fail with this error:  OP-ERR-0111  The member reference
  'expression="[corptreasury_actualscube].[Transaction
  Date].[Transaction Date].[Transaction Month]->[Forecast
  Date].[2010].[20101].[201001]"' is not a proper name.   Removing
  the ampersand from the folder name or moving the target report
  elsewhere solves the problem.
