<p class=MsoPlainText>Note that not every row has an entry in the first ACTION
column.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Is there any way to get the spreadsheet compiler to put
all the ACTION columns into a modify() block, or some other equivalent
construct, so that the changes to the visit object get propagated?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I’ve tried making by ACTIONS be:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>modifyRetract($visit);$visit.setTriggerStatus($param)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>$visit.setRuleTriggered($param);modifyInsert($visit);<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>But when there’s no value in the first ACTION column, the
compiler doesn’t put in the retract. I suppose I could wrap each of the actions
in a modify() block, but I’m concerned about the performance of taking every
object in and out of the working memory twice.<o:p></o:p></p>
