I have a bunch of decision tables with two columns of action, like:

RuleSet	ED_Notification
Import	...Visit
RuleTable Triggers
CONDITION	CONDITION	ACTION	ACTION
$visit:Visit
Facility	age >= $1, age <= 115	$visit.setTriggerStatus($param);	$visit.setRuleTriggered($param);
4116	70		Over_70
4166	80	New	Over_80

Note that not every row has an entry in the first ACTION column.

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?

I’ve tried making by ACTIONS be:

modifyRetract($visit);$visit.setTriggerStatus($param)

and

$visit.setRuleTriggered($param);modifyInsert($visit);

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.
