<DIV><SPAN class=949570720-03082009><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Hi,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=949570720-03082009><FONT face=Verdana size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=949570720-03082009><FONT face=Verdana size=2>I am trying to use
eval block in one of the rules and am a bit confused about it. The rule is
something like this:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=949570720-03082009><FONT face=Verdana size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=949570720-03082009>
<P align=left><FONT face=Verdana size=2>rule
"LastCapacity"<BR>when<BR> e:
Execution(lastCapacity:lastCapacity,parentOid:parentOid)<BR>
eo:
ExecutionOrder(entityOid:entityOid,msgType:msgType,execType:execType)<BR><STRONG>
eval(lastCapacity </STRONG><SPAN class=570572120-03082009><FONT color=#0000ff> </FONT><FONT color=#000000><STRONG>!</STRONG></FONT></SPAN><STRONG>= null &&
entityOid == parentOid && msgType == "8")</STRONG><BR>then</FONT></P>
<P align=left><SPAN class=949570720-03082009></SPAN><FONT face=Verdana size=2>.<SPAN class=949570720-03082009>.................</SPAN><BR>end</FONT></P>
<P><SPAN class=949570720-03082009><FONT face=Verdana size=2>where Execution and
ExecutionOrder are 2 objects that are linked by an ID. I expect eval to return
true for certain sets of objects that I send. But, the above rule exits without
running the consequence. On the other hand, when I write the rule
as:</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=949570720-03082009><FONT face=Verdana size=2> rule
"LastCapacity"<BR>when<BR> e:
Execution(lastCapacity:<STRONG>lastCapacity==null</STRONG>,parentOid:parentOid)<BR>
eo: ExecutionOrder(entityOid:<STRONG>entityOid == parentOid</STRONG>,
<STRONG>msgType == "8"</STRONG>)<BR>then</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=949570720-03082009><FONT face=Verdana size=2>.............................<BR>end</FONT></SPAN></P></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN class=949570720-03082009>the rule triggers
the consequence for same set of objects. I thought that if the expression
in eval block comes out to be true, the consequence will be triggered. Am I
missing something obvious here?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
