Color Coding

The rule syntax is color coded to assist with reading the syntax.

Comments are blue: // This comment continues to the end of this line

Error message definition special character delimiters and booleans are red: “[,],^, |, TRUE, and FALSE.

Error message definition tokens are maroon. ErrMsg1 or LogicBlk3  are common token names.

Error message text is gold, for example, ERROR, the list price field is not a valid field for the commercial lease property type.

All rule syntax is black, .ENTRY. = .EMPTY.

Field names are dark green: PropertyType

Numbers are brown: 999999999.0

Function names are pink: IIF

Quoted strings are olive: */.USERCLASS..IN.('AG','HA','DB'
