You have to differentiate between the type of algorithm and
the algorithm itself.
- An Algorithm Type defines the program that is called when
an algorithm of this type is executed. It also defines the
types of parameters that must be supplied to algorithms of
this type.
- An Algorithm references an Algorithm Type. It also defines the value of each
parameter. It is the algorithm that is referenced on the
various control tables.

How to Add A New Algorithm for an example that will
further clarify the difference between an algorithm and an
algorithm type.
