JESS: Behavior change from 6.1p7 to 7.0b3 with modify function

2005-11-08 Thread Jon Weygandt
Jess, Not sure if this is known, have not seen much on the internal workings of modify. I'm concerned about this because it looks like modifying a fact sometimes requires the equivalent of: For each slot modified { Retract the fact Set the slot Assert the fact } Although in 6.1p7 it

JESS: How does the pattern match: ?trans_state SI | MI | EI

Jess, An area of somewhat unclear documentation about how Basic Patterns are interpreted, and I want to be sure before passing information on to our customers. I have the following rule, pay attention to the TRANS_STATE slot: (defrule FC ?cast - (FC (SQL_OPERATION UPDATE | INSERT)

Thanks so much! I wanted to say.. that what made me think something was 'amiss'.. is that the accumulate example from the web page: (deftemplate employee (slot salary)) (deffacts employee-facts (employee (salary 1007700)) (employee (salary 1002347700)) (employee (salary 107712000)) ) (watch all)

Ernest, Thanks. The translation is none to intuitive, but the ppdefrule helps. It also shows the problem with the original rule as well. Jon -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2005 12:28 PM To: jess-users@sandia.gov

Title: RE: JESS: Behavior change from 6.1p7 to 7.0b3 with modify function One of my programs uses beans with derived properties. Thus, it is common in this program that multiple slots are modified together. Also, I would argue for atomic multiple-slot modification for the sake of safety.
