LABEL

Name associated with the subsequent DO statements. LABEL can have a maximum of 8 characters. Label names must be unique within a rule definition.

expression

Criteria that determine if subsequent DO statements are processed. Control-M/Analyzer expressions are discussed in depth in Chapter 4, "Expressions and Functions".

After specifying expression and pressing Enter, an area is opened for specification of an ALWAYS statement, another IF statement, or an ELSE statement.

DO

Specification of Automated Balancing statements. See "Automated Balancing Statements" in this chapter for summary information about each DO statement.

When an IF conditional expression evaluates to true, the DO statements following that IF are performed. When an IF conditional expression evaluates to false, the DO statements following that IF are skipped.

ELSE

When ELSE is specified, the DO statements following that ELSE are performed only when the preceding IF evaluates to false.

An area for specification of the ELSE parameter is opened on the Rule Definition screen after expression is specified and Enter is pressed. Type ELSE (or its abbreviation E) in this area and press Enter. When Enter is pressed, another area is opened for specification of the ALWAYS and IF parameters, and a field appears for specification of Automated Balancing statements.
