Parameters

This function block has the following parameters:

Parameter Description
Always Evaluate Hard, Soft or Breakable. This parameter controls what happens when the extension eliminates all available decisions.
Hard All decisions will remain eliminated. Note: When all decisions are eliminated the RCO Output Module, None, is executed to handle this condition.
Soft Roll back any decisions eliminated by this extension.
Breakable Roll back any decisions eliminated by this extension that have a danger point value of True (non zero). The routing modules will first use the danger defined for each individual decision; and, if no danger point has been configured for the decision, then the site-wide danger point will be used. If no danger point can be found for a decision, then the decision remains eliminated.
Item Class All items with matching class will be used.
Location Number of locations in source regions to scan.
Attribute ID Name of Attribute to compare.
Start Character Starting character of the attribute to be used.
Attribute Length Specifies the number of characters in the attribute to compare.
End Character Ending character of the attribute to be used. Enter zero in both the Start Character and Attribute Length fields to use all characters.
