Filter Rules

Filter rules are triggered by the COSELECT rule, described in COSELECT Rule, to determine whether or not to perform an action on the current row in an Object database.

If an action must be performed on the current row, the Filter rule sets variable %%COS_SELECTED to YES. The COSELECT rule detects this and triggers the appropriate Action rule.

Sample Filter rules (with a prefix of COSFLT) are provided with Control-O/COSMOS. These filters can be customized and additional Filter rules can be defined to conform with your site’s requirements.
