APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When editing a decision table with a condition column
    containing the statement "if <the variable> is <a string>",
    double clicking on an empty condition column and shifting focus
    to another column inserts an empty string in the condition
    column and thereby in the rule.
    This causes unexpected errors during execution. Comparison of
    the decision table after edit with the previous version does
    not show the new empty string in business console but in
    enterprise console you can see the difference.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • The empty values are processed during storage and an empty
    string is created which becomes something when the rule is
    translated
    

Problem conclusion

  • The code is fixed
    

Temporary fix
