have a decision table and I'm running a series of rules. It is important that
the rules run in a specific order. How do I make my decision table process the
rules in the sequence I want, or simply from the top down?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>There is an attribute called "sequential"
for decision tables that when set causes it row to have a high salience value
of the previous row, this way it executes the rules in the row order. Note this
is different to the sequential mode on stateless sessions, so don't confuse the
two.<br>
