Hi Daniel,<br><br>Put the reference in a comment and be careful where you put your commas!<br><br>$current:Claim(historic= false, ...)<br>$historic:Claim(historic==true, ...<br> , $current.doc == $history.doc // @{CHECK_DOCTOR}<br>
)<br><br>If you're trying to do what I think you're trying to do, the above should work :)<br>When there is no value in the CHECK_DOCTOR field, the entire line:<br> <br> , $current.doc == $history.doc // @{CHECK_DOCTOR}<br>
<br>will not be included and the rule will look like the following:<br><br>$current:Claim(historic= false, ...)<br>
$historic:Claim(historic==true, ...<br>
)<br><br>
Which is fine.<br><br>Hope it helps,<br><br>Enda<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 12:36 PM, djb <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dbrownell83@hotmail.com">dbrownell83@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
My rule template project is finally working, more-or-less.<br>
<br>
I've got 5 lines of conditions, the last 2 of which are evals. One of them<br>
compares dates, and has to be an eval(). The other though, I think I should<br>
be able to convert to non-eval DRL, but I am not sure how, because it is an<br>
optional condition.<br>
<br>
So, I've got<br>
$current:Claim(historic==false, ...)<br>
$historic:Claim(historic==true, ...)<br>
eval($current.hasSameDoctor($historic,"@{CHECK_DOCTOR}"));<br>
<br>
so, the line disappears if @{CHECK_DOCTOR} is blank, which is what I want.<br>
I want something like, eval($current.doc == $historic.doc)<br>
but i only want to check this if @{CHECK_DOCTOR} is "Y".<br>
<br>
Is there any way to do this check without an eval?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Daniel<br>
