Wild Characters supported by Decision Tables

[former_member193284]

Hi Carsten,

can you confirm if we can maintain wild characters in BRF+ decision tables. An example for which is as shown below

Phrase Key	Text
*	Test Wild Characters

Input - Phrase Key

Output - Text

So if we maintained '*' under the condition column and pass any input as phrase ID, will the rule return me the output column as the result?

My understanding is this wont be supported by BRF. can you please confirm?

Thanks

Hi Sumit,

I don't think an asterisk would work as a wildcard in a decision table in BRF+. However, if you just don't specify a value (I don't mean a blank value) for a particular column in a decision table, it would work as a wildcard i.e. it will be evaluated to true for any input value.
