Rule Statements

A rule statement is an IF-THEN statement that analyzes a column of data and generates an output based on the result of the analysis. You add a rule statement to a rule set.
A rule statement uses conditions and actions to define the IF-THEN logic. A condition is an operation that determines a single fact about a data value. A condition represents a requirement of the business rule. An action is an operation that generates an output from the rule statement when the input value satisfies the condition.
