The following subroutine creates and saves a new journal. CreateJournalFromTemplate creates an HFMwJournal object, using the template, Point of View, and auto-reversing flag passed to the subroutine. HFMwJournal.label sets the journal label, using the label passed to the function. SaveJournal then saves the journal.

Sub AddNewJournal(sScen, sYear, sPer, sVal, bAutoRev, _
   sTemplate, sLabel)
Dim cHFMManageJournals, cHFMJournal
Set cHFMManageJournals = Server.CreateObject _
   ("Hyperion.HFMwManageJournals")
'g_cHFMSession is an HFMwSession object reference
cHFMManageJournals.SetWebSession(g_cHFMSession)
Set cHFMJournal = cHFMManageJournals.CreateJournalFromTemplate _
   (sScen, sYear, sPer, sVal, bAutoRev, sTemplate)
cHFMJournal.label = sLabel
