Thanks Greg. Hope you will get your spare time soon :) Anyway I'm a newbie and don't know how to request the dev. Let me know how to make a request and I will do it.

You could do it a couple of ways. 3 Rules where the whens look like the following when A(Value == 25) then ... when A(Value == 10) then ... when A(Value != 10 && != 25) then... Or with salience and control facts when A(value == 25) then print success; insert(new Found()); when A(value == 10) then print not bad insert(new Found()); salience -10 when not (Found()) then print try again On Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 1:51 AM, Ravi Krishnamurthy <ravik(a)savvion.com <mailto:ravik@savvion.com>> wrote: Hello: 1) Is it possible to write any if then else kind of rule instead of stating all the possibilities in a decision table.
