All, I have the following rule: rule "Repayment Code Requires Approval" salience 60 when repaymentCode : RepaymentCode( code == "MD", matchApprv == "Y" ) mdOutput : ModelDiscrepancyOutput( $amt1 : sumRTVQty, $amt2 : sumCmAndRnr) eval($amt1.doubleValue() == $amt2.doubleValue()) then System.out.println("Repayment Code Requires Approval"); processMDAdjustments(drools.getWorkingMemory().getQueryResults( "MD Adjustments" ), StatusConstants.APPROVAL); System.out.println("mdOutput: " + mdOutput); end If I remember correctly, there was going to be an update to the rules language that would allow me to eliminate the eval. Is this true and if so what is the syntax that accomplishes this? Ron

Ronald, Yes, this is one way (I would say probably the preferred way) of doing it. For BigDecimals, drools will use equals() method. Look at the BigDecimalFactory class for details.

On a similiar note what if you do: BigDecimal != 0 On 7/9/07, Ronald R.
