ValueAction Selector Format

For Actions of the type DYNRACTIONTYPE_VALUES, the selector is a string specifying all the value selectors associated with the Action.

Within the string, tab characters (CHAR_TAB) delimit values. Successive tab characters indicate non-selection. The total number of value selectors and non-selectors should match the number of decision table dynamic rule outcomes exactly. Otherwise, a subsequent decision table dynamic rule posting or validation service will fail.

Value selectors must be constants of a data type compatible with the data type of the first parameter of the Action's domain interface member method. Special considerations include the following:

• For parameters of any data type, NULL is always a valid selector value.
• For parameters of data type string, string constants must be in quotes.
• For parameters of data type real, value selectors can be either integer or real constants.
