The following code opens form VendTable in grid and modifies the query of the form. In the example three specific vendors should be shown.

The form opened by above job may look similar to the following screenshot:

The following job will give you an example, of how to change the value of a dimension within the default dimensions of a record (the example-job changes the value of the dimension costcenter of a customer). In this way and manner individual dimension values can be removed also.

static void changeDimensionValue(Args _args)
{
    DimensionAttributeValueSetStorage dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage;
    DimensionAttribute dimensionAttribute;
    CustTable custTable = CustTable::find("US-014");
    DimensionValue oldDimensionValue;
    DimensionValue newDimensionValue = "011";
    DimensionDefault newDimensionDefault;

    #define.dimensionName("CostCenter")

    DimensionValue getDimensonValue(DimensionDefault _dimensionDefault)
    {
        DefaultDimensionView defaultDimensionView;
        select firstonly DisplayValue
        from defaultDimensionView
        where defaultDimensionView.Name == #dimensionName
            && defaultDimensionView.DefaultDimension == _dimensionDefault;

        return defaultDimensionView.DisplayValue;
    }

    // Get current value
    oldDimensionValue = getDimensonValue(custTable.DefaultDimension);

    // Build DimensionAttributeValueSetStorage
    dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage = DimensionAttributeValueSetStorage::find(custTable.DefaultDimension);
 
    // Remove old dimension value
    dimensionAttribute = DimensionAttribute::findByName(#dimensionName);
    dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage.removeDimensionAttributeValue(
        DimensionAttributeValue::findByDimensionAttributeAndValue(dimensionAttribute, oldDimensionValue).RecId);
 
    // Set new dimension value
    if(newDimensionValue != "")
    {
        dimensionAttribute = DimensionAttribute::findByName(#dimensionName);
        dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage.addItem(
            DimensionAttributeValue::findByDimensionAttributeAndValue(dimensionAttribute, newDimensionValue));
    }
 
    newDimensionDefault = dimensionAttributeValueSetStorage.save();

    ttsbegin;
    custTable.selectForUpdate(true);
    custTable.DefaultDimension = newDimensionDefault;
    custTable.update();
    ttscommit;
}
