Creating the XML file: Examples

The following is the format of a valid XML rule file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<KN-RULESPACE>
	<RULE>
		{definition of rule}
	</RULE>
	<RULE>
		{definition of rule}
	</RULE>
</KN-RULESPACE>

The following examples show a drill as defined in a .sr file, followed by the same drill defined as XML.

Example of a Select:

DEFINE SELECT      "Workers Comp Class"
       ID          HR-WCC-S-0089
       SCRFLD      WC-CLASS
       FILENAME    WCCLASS
       INDEX       WCCSET2
       KEYRNG      COMPANY-01
       NXTKEY      WC-CLASS
       CONDITION   US
       DSPFLDS     WC-CLASS:"WC Class", WC-STATE:"State", 
PROCESS-LEVEL:"P/L", EFFECT-DATE:"Eff Date", DESC:"Description"
       RETURNS     WC-CLASS
       RETURNS     WC-STATE into WC-STATE
       RETURNS     PROCESS-LEVEL into PROCESS-LEVEL
       RETURNS     EFFECT-DATE into EFFECT-DATE

The following is the same rule definition when done in XML:

<RULE>
	<SELECT file="WCCLASS" index=WCCSET2" id="HR-WCC-S-0089" 
title="Workers Comp Class" >
		<TRIGGERS>
			<TRIGGER value="WC-CLASS"  />
		</TRIGGERS>
		<KEY-LIST>
			<RULE-KEY value="COMPANY-01"  />
		</KEY-LIST>
		<CONDITIONS>
			<CONDITION value="US" />
		</CONDITIONS>
		<DISPLAY-FIELDS>
			<DISPLAY-FIELD name="WC-CLASS" label="WC Class" />
			<DISPLAY-FIELD name="WC-STATE" label="State" />
			<DISPLAY-FIELD name="PROCESS-LEVEL" label="P/L" />
			<DISPLAY-FIELD name="EFFECT-DATE" label="Eff Date" />
			<DISPLAY-FIELD name="DESC" label="Description" />
		</DISPLAY-FIELDS>
		<RETURN-FIELDS>
			<RETURN-FIELD source="WC-CLASS" />
			<RETURN-FIELD source="WC-STATE" target="WC-STATE" />
			<RETURN-FIELD source="PROCESS-LEVEL" target="PROCESS-LEVEL" />
			<RETURN-FIELD source="EFFECT-DATE" target="EFFECT-DATE" />
		</RETURN-FIELDS>
	</SELECT>
</RULE>

Example of a Function:

DEFINE FUNCTION    COUNTRY-SUF()
       FILENAME    HRCTRYCODE
       INDEX       CTCSET2
       KEYRNG      "SU",HCP-NAME-SUFFIX
       RETURNS     COUNTRY-CODE

<RULE>
	<FUNCTION file="HRCTRYCODE" index="CTCSET2" id="COUNTRY-SUF()" >
		<KEY-LIST>
			<LITERAL-VALUE value="SU" />
			<RULE-KEY value="HCP-NAME-SUFFIX" />
		</KEY-LIST>
		<RETURN-FIELDS>
			<RETURN-FIELD source="COUNTRY-CODE" />
		</RETURN-FIELDS>
	</FUNCTION>
</RULE>

Example of a Field Exit:

DEFINE RULE
       ID           HR-PRS-R-0013
       SCRFLD       COMPANY-01
       FILENAME     PRSYSTEM
       INDEX        PRSSET1
       KEYRNG       COMPANY-01, ~SPACES
       RETURNS      NAME into HR-COMPANY-NAME

<RULE>
	<FIELD-EXIT file="PRSYSTEM" index="PRSSET1" id="HR-PRS-R-0013" >
		<TRIGGERS>
			<TRIGGER value="COMPANY-01" />
		</TRIGGERS>
		<KEY-LIST>
			<RULE-KEY value="COMPANY-01" />
			<SYMBOLIC-CONSTANT value="SPACES" />
		</KEY-LIST>
		<RETURN-FIELDS>
			<RETURN-FIELD source="NAME" target="HR-COMPANY-NAME" />
		</RETURN-FIELDS>
	</FIELD-EXIT>
</RULE>

Example of a Detail:

DEFINE SCRDTL      "Work Schedule"
       ID          HR-WSC-D-0001
       SCRFLD      WORK-SCHED
       FILENAME    HRWRKSCHD
       INDEX       WSCSET2
       KEYRNG      COMPANY-01, WORK-SCHED, WSC-EFFECT-DATE()

<RULE>
	<DETAIL file="HRWRKSCHD" index="WSCSET2" id="HR-WSC-D-0001" 
title="Work Schedule" >
		<TRIGGERS>
			<TRIGGER value="WORK-SCHED" />
		</TRIGGERS>
		<KEY-LIST>
			<RULE-KEY value="COMPANY-01" />
			<RULE-KEY value="WORK-SCHED" />
			<FUNCTION-REF value="WSC-EFFECT-DATE()" />
		</KEY-LIST>
	</DETAIL>
</RULE>

Example of a Detail with Display Fields:

DEFINE SCRDTL      "Absence Plan Structures"
       ID          HR-TST-D-0001
       SCRFLD      TA-EMPLOYEE-GROUP
       FILENAME    TASTRUCTUR
       INDEX       TSTSET2
       KEYRNG      COMPANY-01, @CURSCRFLD
       DSPFLDS     PLAN:"Plan  ",PLAN.DESCRIPTION:"Plan Description ",
                EMPLOYEE-GROUP:"Structure Group",BEGIN-DATE:"Effective"

<RULE>
	<KN-VIEW file="TASTRUCTUR" index="TSTSET2" id="HR-TST-D-0001" 
title="Absence Plan Structures" />
		<TRIGGERS>
			<TRIGGER value="TA-EMPLOYEE-GROUP" />
		</TRIGGERS>
		<KEY-LIST>
			<RULE-KEY value="COMPANY-01" />
			<SYMBOLIC-CONSTANT value="CURSCRFLD" />
		</KEY-LIST>
		<DISPLAY-FIELDS>
			<DISPLAY-FIELD name="PLAN" label="Plan  " />
			<DISPLAY-FIELD name="PLAN.DESCRIPTION" label="Plan Description" />
			<DISPLAY-FIELD name="EMPLOYEE-GROUP" label="Structure Group" />
			<DISPLAY-FIELD name="BEGIN-DATE" label="Effective" />
		</DISPLAY-FIELDS>
	</KN-VIEW>
</RULE>

XML drill definitions cannot refer to functions defined in a .sr file. All function references must be to FUNCTION rules defined in the same XML definition file.

Find fields are defined the way display fields are defined. Use FIND-FIELDS and FIND-FIELD as the node names.
