Wolfgang wrote the code, I believe. I've got a situation where I've got DB rows where i've got: TYPE | CODE | TYPE2 | CODE2_FROM | CODE2_TO there are 17 types. So it lets us have rules like Type U code 123 cannot be charged with Type V codes 234 to 236. I need the rules to compare the correct property, but I don't want to lose the advantage of the RETE algorithm by using a getValue("type1") function. I see one solution: 2. Make a template with 17 + 17 + 17 = 51 columns, where each one uses the // @{VAR} trick. Is there a better way? Or, should I just do getValue("type")?
