Rules

Displays the specified Express global rules(s) either in original source Express format or in a format constructed from the related dictionary model(s). The actual display format is chosen by setting the appropriate option.
The available formats are:

  1. The EXPRESS format is built from the populated dictionary model(s), hence the layout may differ from the original EXPRESS Schema as stored on the source file.
  2. The actual global rule(s) are displayed exactly like the format and layout in the original Express schema. This format is only available if the related dictionary model(s) was created by the Schemata>Define Schema command with the [storing source] option set.

All global rules with a name that exactly or partly matches the arguments <Schema> and <Global rule> will be displayed unless the option [exact match] is set, then only the global rule with a name that exactly matches the arguments <Schema> and <Global rule> will be displayed.
Note: No Express global rules will be found in schemata, i.e., dictionary models that are created by Schemata>DefineSchema command with one of the options [no expression stored] or [no rule stored] set.
Arguments:

Schema:

Specify the name of schema(ta) in the EDMdatabase that defines the actual global rule(s). Schema names are case insensitive.
When activating the Select button, the names of all existing schemata will be displayed in the related selection list.

Global Rule:

Specify the name of the actual global rule(s) defined in the schema(ta) specified by the <Schema> argument that will be displayed. Global rule names are case insensitive.
When activating the Select button, the name of all global rules in the schema(ta) specified by the <Schema> argument will be displayed in the related selection list

Options:

accumulating command output:

A global option that appends the command output to the EDMsupervisor output window. Otherwise the output window is refreshed and only the last command output is displayed.

exact match:

A global option that specifies that only the global rule with a name that exactly matches the arguments <Schema> and <Global rule> will be displayed

match selected input:

A global option that specifies that only items that partly or exactly matches the string in the related argument input field when activating a Select button, will be in the selection list. An empty (blank) string will match all items.

show source:

Specifies that the actual global rules will be displayed exactly as found in the original source Express schema. This option is only effective when the schema(ta) that defines the actual global rules was compiled with the option [storing source] set when the actual dictionary model(s) was produced by the Schemata>DefineSchema command.
