Symptoms

Unable to get the Smart View VBA function HypExecuteCalcScript() to run successfully if calc script contains a POV runtime subvar. It fails on Sample Basic also. If launching the calc script manually in Smart View via the menu it is successful. HypExecuteCalcScript() works successfully on a normal calc script if it doesn't contain the POV subvar e.g. default.

VBA return code = 4
“SS_ERR_ERROR”
“An error specific to the data provider or a generic error that cannot be mapped to a value.”


ERROR IN JOB CONSOLE

The Essbase Jobs console shows this in the error message:
