Parse Failed: Invalid Definition (UNV0023) Environment BI 4 SP 8 We are working with Universe Design Tool  on universes  that require the same tables so after inserting the tables in one universe and creating classes/objects/meta data, we copied the same classes and objects into other universes as the tables are  the same. But when we  parse the objects in the table after copying we got  following error: Parse Failed:Invalid definition (UNV0023).  The only way to solve the problem was to go into each object and copy, delete and then past the table object name. So the advise  that in similar cases is:  first  you have  to add the tables  and then you can add relative objects and  not viceversa! 2nd case We got the error  in another case For an object with the following select: CASE WHEN @Select(PromptList\....) IN @Prompt('Code:','N','PromptList\ CatCode' ,multi,constrained) THEN @Select(PromptLis\generic) ELSE (SELECT LTRIM(MA
