PPROP Attribute

The PPROP attribute in RLOGIC stores the expression that the system checks.

In the example in Supports Property Manager, the key could have been entered as DUTY OF BRAN. However, because it is stored in the PPROP as:

( ATTRIB DUTY OF BRANCH EQ 'DS' OR ATTRIB DUTY OF BRANCH EQ 'DT' )

the key should be changed to as ATTRIB DUTY OF BRANCH.

Important: To ensure the display text entered in Property Manager appears in Rule Manager, it is a requirement that the PML 1 expression is entered exactly as it is stored in the PPROP.

A similar situation occurs when the key attribute is stored in a string and requires string manipulation. The intended logic might be written as:

AFTER (NAME OF PIPE, 'SYS')

However, when this expression is processed by RLOGIC, the PPROP attribute stores it as:

( AFT ( ATTRIB NAME OF PIPE , 'SYS' ) EQ 'DS' )

To ensure the expression appears correctly as a Data Description option for Compref, the key must be entered in Property Manager exactly as it is stored in PPROP, in this case:

AFT ( ATTRIB NAME OF PIPE , 'SYS' )

Verify the PPROP Expression and Display Text

To confirm the correct expression is being used:

1. Create a rule using the expression required.

2. Examine how the expression is stored in the PPROP attribute.

3. Enter this expression and display text in Property Manager.
