I have a data structure which contains an array of string values as one of it's members. This array could potentially hold up to 99 values. Instead of using a long "OR" statement (like array[0]="XXX" or array[1]="XXX" or array[2]="XXX" ... or array[99]="XXX") on the transition condition, is there an easier way to tell MQWF to look thru the entire array for a specific value?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

If there is, I've not seen it documented.

Sometimes, it might be possible to have an overly complex condition evaluated by the previous activity and then your test in the workflow engine becomes simple. Of course this does defeat the purpose of having the business rules in the model as opposed to the program.

GOOD LUCK

Hi,

As John said, I too haven't seen this in the documentation. You can achieve this by setting another another variable in the container before exiting from the activity.

Also, to just let you know that there is a limitation to the transition condition/exit condition/start condition. I guess it it 254 characters.

Please check the FDL section under Buildtime manual

Cheers
Ved
