Rule Condition Element

A rule must have one or more rule conditions. A rule condition is an expression that the Performance Manager resolves to true or false status during the course of rule evaluation. A rule condition must end with a semicolon (;). If the Performance Manager evaluates the rule condition to 1.0, then the rule condition is true; otherwise, it is false.

A rule condition is composed of rule expressions. A rule expression is one of the following values:

• decimal_value
• literal_symbol
• tally_data_cell
• (rule_expression)
• numeric_data_cell [(index_specifier_data_cell)]
• boolean_data_cell [(index_specifier_data_cell)]
• scan_routine_data_cell(rule_expression)
• string_item string_operator string_item
• rule_expression numeric_binary_operator rule_expression
