_CHECK_HIER_MEMBER_ Method

Checks to be sure that one dimension variable (member-var) is not a member of the hierarchy chosen for the other dimension variable (hierarchy-var)

This method ensures that the variables users select to create a report are valid. For example, specifying DOWN=COUNTRY, ACROSS=GEOGRAPHIC produces an error if Country is a member of the Geographic hierarchy.
