Line C 10: Comment Will be ignored. Line B 10: Condition The value for DOCU_INT_1 is not available during the first run; therefore, a query window is displayed. Line B10, column R01: Rule 1 Upon entry of the value 2 the program checks if the condition in the first rule column (R01) is true (DOCU_INT_1=1). Line B10, column R02: Rule 2 Since 2 = 1 is not true, the condition of the second rule column (R02) is checked (DOCU_INT_1 = 2). The condition 2 = 2 is true and further conditions do not exist. Therefore, the actions of rule column 2 are checked. Column R02, line A 10 : Action The first action of the rule column 2 is: put (rnd ( 23.2641758,1)), Action indicator: no. Therefore, this action is not executed. Column R02, line A 20 : Action The second action of the rule column 2 is: put (rnd ( 23.26417580,2)), Action indicator: yes. Since the action indicator is set to "yes" in this case, the result of the "put" function is issued. Column R02, lines A 30 and A40: Action The third and forth action of rule column 2 is not executed due to the "no" setting of the action indicator. If the decision table is specified as Single Match Table, the execution stops. Line B 10, column R03: Condition (only in case of multi-match tables) In a Multi-match Table the program returns to the first condition line (B10) and rule 3 (R03) is checked. The condition 2 = 3 is not true and further conditions do not exist. Therefore, the execution stops here. Line B 10, column ELSE The actions in this column are executed if no condition is true (in this example this would be the case if DOCU_INT_1 were e.g. 6). The message "Please enter a number between 1 and 3!" is displayed and the execution stops. |
