In SAS^® Financial Management, when a Read-only Table containing floating time members is saved and closed, the report might not display properly if re-opened after chnages are made to the default time period in SAS Financial Managment Studio.

For instance, suppose the current time period is set to January 2009 and a Read-only Table is created with the Time dimension displayed on the columns. A Floating Time Member Rule is created as Default Period minus 12 and another Floating Time Member Rule is created as Default Period. When viewed, the report should show January 2008 data in the first column and January 2009 data in the second column.

Although, if you save and close the report and then change the default time period, the report might display only the first column when it is re-opened.

For example, if the default time period is changed to February 2009, you would expect to see February 2008 data in the first column and February 2009 data in the second column. However, the report might just display data in the first column and not display the second column.
