Calculating Databases

If you execute a CALC ALL command to consolidate the database after running a conversion, meaningful total-level data is generated in the converted base rate partition, but the local rate partition contains a meaningless consolidation of local currency values. To prevent meaningless consolidation, use the calculation command SET UPTOLOCAL, which restricts consolidations to parents with the same defined currency. For example, all cities in the U.S. use dollars as the unit of currency. Therefore, all children of U.S. consolidate to U.S. Consolidation stops at the country level, however, because North America contains countries that use other currencies.
