Eliminate Sources Based on Attribute Spacing

Procedure

  1. The function block attempts to match the respective Attribute Value element with a value for that attribute from the current item.
  2. When an attribute value is matched, the function block compares the respective Spacing Rule and Spacing Count elements.
  3. If selecting the current item (incrementing the Spacing Count) violates the rule, the:
    1. Comparison fails for that attribute.
    2. Item is either weighted or eliminated.
    3. Failure is saved as history data.
    Notes:
    • An elimination may be rolled back depending on the setting of the respective danger flag in the Breakable array.
    • To compare items that satisfy a named query or query expression, enter the reserved name SOLVE for this element in the Attribute Name array. (This is  instead of the name of an attribute). You can then enter a named query or query expression as the respective element in the Attribute Value array.
