Yes, all the decision table compiler does is convert the cells into a drl file by doing some string manipulation, all it does with $param is do a string replace, so if you end up with a valid statement after the replacement has been done you can do whatever you like. Similar as you are suggesting some of our rules are constructed like field $param 0 where the cell values are either ==, <= etc. Thomas From: rules-users-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org [mailto:rules-users-bounces@lists.jboss.org] On Behalf Of Wishing Carebear Sent: 08 July 2011 14:54 To: Rules Users List Subject: [rules-users] Can eval($param) be used as condition in the Spreadsheet decision table? Is it possible to put eval($param) as Condition in the decision table so that the cells can have flexible values.?
