Providing Conditional Processing

Conditional Processing

If you require conditional processing based on truth value, use:

1.	The conditions section to specify what conditions is to be evaluated

2.	The action section of the rule to specify how the conditions is to be processed

The values in the condition section are evaluated sequentially for their truth value. An Y/N quadrant is then used to regulate the processing of the specified actions. For more information about conditional processing, refer to Chapter 10, Conditional Processing.

What Comprises a Condition?

A condition is comprised of one of the following that evaluates to a Y/N value. It ends in a semicolon(;).

•	An expression with a comparison operator

•	An argument name or local name

•	A functional rule and its argument values

•	A table.field reference

Sample Condition Segment and Associated Actions

The following example shows a condition segment containing an expression and the action segment showing the initial actions to take place based on the values determined by the Y/N quadrant:

---

 

_ ------------------------------------------------------------+--------------

_ JOBTITLE = 'SENIOR ANALYST'; | Y N N

- JOBTITLE = 'ANALYST'; | Y N

_ ------------------------------------------------------------+--------------

_ RATE = 0.1; | 1

- RATE = 0.05; | 1
