TR0541

A drill-down category cannot be filtered.

This error occurs when you create a Model Definition Language (MDL) script that tries to exclude a drill category. The Cognos® Transformer Windows interface does not allow you to exclude a drill category.

Procedure

To avoid this problem, when you reference an object in MDL, make sure you use the correct object identifier or object name.

You can verify Cognos Transformer object names and identifiers on the Windows interface. To make them visible, select the Object name and Object identifier check boxes on the Titles tab of the Preferences property sheet. The object name and identifier will appear in the title bar at the top of each property sheet, and also in a tool tip when your pointer hovers over an object.

You can also find object identifiers in the .mdl file. For more information, see the Cognos Transformer Developer Guide.
