RATEARRAY

Retrieves a list of rates based on parameter criteria.

Note: The rule can list more criteria than needed for a specific instance. The system will only use those criteria that are valid for the RateDescription given. Using more criteria than needed can be used to create a reusable function that calls RATEARRAY. Be sure to include in the RateCriteria list all or the criteria for all RateTables that will be using the RATEARRAY call.

RATEARRAY: Elements and Attributes

TYPE=RATEARRAY
Element	Attributes	Parent Element	Description	Element/Attribute Values
<MathVariable>				Literal string
	VARIABLENAME		Required	RATEARRAY
	TYPE		Required   Identifies the type of the MathVariable.	DECIMAL
	DATATYPE		Required	Integer
	ROUND		Optional when DATATYPE="DECIMAL"	String
	DEFAULT		Optional	YES
	LOG		Optional	Integer
	STARTINDEX		The starting index of the rate array.	Integer
	ENDINDEX		The ending index of the rate array.
	CLEARVALUE		Optional Element	Value: Yes / No Default Value: No Yes: The value of the math variable will be deleted after the execution of all the Attached Rules at the end of activity processing and will not be visible on the Math tab in the Activity details screen. No: The value of the math variable will be retained after activity processing and will be displayed in the Math tab in the Activity details screen.
<Parameters>
<RateDescription>			String Required    This is the RATEDESCRIPTION from AsRate, for the table to use to retrieve rates.
<EffectiveDate>			Activity:EffectiveDate Effective date (like Activity effective date), for which the rate retrieval is to take place.
<ActiveDate>			Date Rate effective date for the table being retrieved.
<RateCriteria>			String The MathVariable previously defined that holds the value of the Criteria (Like 01 for Gender, or 03 for Risk).
	NAME		Required, repeatable The specific instance of Criteria given in AsRateGroup (the actual instance such as Gender, Tobacco, Risk, etc. It is not the heading of Criteria1, Criteria2, etc.)	String
