[rules-users] "not in" error

[Mike D]

Just wondering if anyone else has come across this:

I have a rule that has a variable with the same name as the element and when
used in a "not in", the rule does not fire properly.

rule "0620 Fail Invalid SPI Primary"
	when
		exists ValidationControl(validationNo == 620)
		CiLines($ciNo : ciNo, $ciLineNo : ciLineNo, $countryOrigin :
countryOrigin)
		Country(country == $countryOrigin, canadianProvince not in ("Y","L")) 
		CiTariffClass(id.ciNo == $ciNo, id.ciLineNo == $ciLineNo, 
			$spiPrimary : spiPrimary not in (null,"","W","Z","Y","N"), $tariffNo :
tariffNo,
			spiPrimary0_1 not in ("P","A","E"), $tariffLineNo : tariffLineNo)
		ShipmentHeader($dateEntry : dateEntry)
		TariffClass(id.tariffNo == $tariffNo, dateTariffEffective <= $dateEntry, 
					dateTariffExpiration >= $dateEntry,
					$dateTariffEffective : dateTariffEffective)
		TariffValidSpi(id.tariffNo == $tariffNo, id.dateTariffEffective ==
$dateTariffEffective)
			 spiProgram1_1 not in ("*","+"), id.spiProgram not in (null, "",
$spiPrimary))
		$status : ValidationPassFailStatus()
	then
		ValidationData $data = new ValidationData(620);
		$data.setCiNo($ciNo);
		$data.setCiLine($ciLineNo);		
		$data.setTariffLineNo($tariffLineNo);
		$data.setTariffNo($tariffNo);		
		$data.setAdditionalInfo("SPI Primary: "+$spiPrimary);						
		$status.fail($data);	
end	

whereas, if I change the rule to:

rule "0620 Fail Invalid SPI Primary"
	when
		exists ValidationControl(validationNo == 620)
		CiLines($ciNo : ciNo, $ciLineNo : ciLineNo, $countryOrigin :
countryOrigin)
		Country(country == $countryOrigin, canadianProvince not in ("Y","L")) 
		CiTariffClass(id.ciNo == $ciNo, id.ciLineNo == $ciLineNo, 
			$spiP : spiPrimary not in (null,"","W","Z","Y","N"), $tariffNo :
tariffNo,
			spiPrimary0_1 not in ("P","A","E"), $tariffLineNo : tariffLineNo)
		ShipmentHeader($dateEntry : dateEntry)
		TariffClass(id.tariffNo == $tariffNo, dateTariffEffective <= $dateEntry, 
					dateTariffExpiration >= $dateEntry,
					$dateTariffEffective : dateTariffEffective)
		TariffValidSpi(id.tariffNo == $tariffNo, id.dateTariffEffective ==
$dateTariffEffective)
			 spiProgram1_1 not in ("*","+"), id.spiProgram not in (null, " ", "",
$spiP))
		$status : ValidationPassFailStatus()
	then
		ValidationData $data = new ValidationData(620);
		$data.setCiNo($ciNo);
		$data.setCiLine($ciLineNo);		
		$data.setTariffLineNo($tariffLineNo);
		$data.setTariffNo($tariffNo);		
		$data.setAdditionalInfo("SPI Primary: "+$spiP);						
		$status.fail($data);	
end	


it works as it should.  I found this when hardcoding the value it was
looking for and it passed.
