Hi Don -

Sorry for the delay - was away on PTO fly-fishing for the last week.

To your comments about certain substitution variables (ALLC_CurrentWeek & CurrentWeek) being synonymous, yes that is correct. Certain target systems required different naming conventions for the subvars, even though each are the same value.

Yes, 12/31/16 is NOT a week, but rather a day. However, this particular client forecasts every week, and therefore, this indicates the start of the current Forecast week.

Mnth and Period are the same thing = Month. Again, the name convention is dictated by which target system they are going to, but they mean the same thing.

PriorQtrInput is the prior quarter (i.e. 1 2 3 or 4)
PriorQtrMnth1= the first month of the previous quarter

1. ALLC_CurrentWeek - The date in MM/DD/YY format that the script is executed. (In the 12/31/16 example, ALLC_CurrentWeek would be 12/31/16)
2. ALLC_CurrentPeriod - The current Month in which the script is executed, unless the next Saturday is greater than or equal to the 2nd day of the month, then ALLC_CurrentPeriod would be that month (In the 12/31/16 example, ALLC_CurrentPeriod would be JAN17.)
3. PriorQuarterAD - Prior quarter number, unless the next Saturday is greater than or equal to the 2nd day of the month AND in the next quarter, then PriorQuarter would actually be the CURRENT quarter (In the 12/31/16 example, PriorQuarterAD would be AD4-16 ...note the "4")
4. CurrentQtrInput - Current quarter number, unless the next Saturday is greater than or equal to the 2nd day of the month AND in the next quarter, then CurrentQtrInput would actually be the next quarter (In the 12/31/16 example, CurrentQtrInput value would be FY 1Q2017_input ...note "1")
5. PriorQtrInput - Same definition as #3 from above (In the 12/31/16 example, PriorQtrInput would be FY 4Q2016_input)

Also, here is the output when I ran it on 5/23/17 (I ran it on a Tuesday, rather than a Saturday, but you get the point):

Code:
CurrentWeek,'\05/23/17\'
CurrentWeekq,'\"05/23/17\"'
CurrentPeriod,MAY17
CurrentPeriodq,'\"MAY17\"'
"1PeriodPrior",APR17
"1PeriodPriorq",'\"APR17\"'
"2PeriodPrior",MAR17
"2PeriodPriorq",'\"MAR17\"'
CurrentQuarter,'\FY 2Q2017\'
CurrentQuarterq,'\"FY 2Q2017\"'
CurrentHalfq,'\"FY 1H2017\"'
CurrentPlanYear,'\FY 2017\'
CurrentPlanYearq,'\"FY 2017\"'
CurrentYear,'\FY 2017\'
CurrentYearq,'\"FY 2017\"'
PriorQuarterAD,'\AD1-17\'
PriorQuarterADq,'\"AD1-17\"'
PriorQuarterMnth1,JAN17
PriorQuarterMnth2,FEB17
PriorQuarterMnth3,MAR17
PriorQuarterMnth1q,'\"JAN17\"'
PriorQuarterMnth2q,'\"FEB17\"'
PriorQuarterMnth3q,'\"MAR17\"'
PriorQuarter,'\FY 1Q2017\'
PriorQuarterq,'\"FY 1Q2017\"'
CurrentQtrInput,'\FY 2Q2017_input\'
CurrentQtrInputq,'\"FY 2Q2017_input\"'
PriorQtrInput,'\FY 1Q2017_input\'
ALLC_CurrentWeek,'\05/23/17\'
ALLC_CurrentWeekq,'\"05/23/17\"'
ALLC_CurrentPeriod,MAY17
ALLC_CurrentPeriodq,'\"MAY17\"'
FirstQtrWeek,'\04/01/2017\'
LastQtrWeek,'\06/24/2017\'

Thank you for all your help, Don! Please let me know if you need any additional clarity. Again, the /\"' symbols encasing the values of each subvar are required to be able to import spaces and special characters.
