Thank you for the reply Wolfgang,

For some reason I had a mental blank when I asked that question - was thinking "Can't create variables like that".

Thanks!

Re: [rules-users] Decision tables - multiple params to function over multiple columns





I think this is more a Java question of how to call a method in instalments.

One option is to set a temporary from the 1st column, and call from
the 2nd: The first column might be
 String code = $param;
and the next column would
 callHelperFunction( code, $param, $handleFromConditions);
and the next column would

Alternatively, you can do
  startHelperFunction( $handle, $param );
  execHelperFunction( $param );
also with each statement coming from a column of its own.

With non-statics, also chained calls would be possible.
