AssignToBatch

Use this form set level rule to identify form sets from a particular source and place those form sets into a special batch for review purposes. For instance, you can use this rule to identify policies from a particular agent, operator, or branch and place those policies into a special batch.

Note

You can insert several AssignToBatch rules in the base rules file (AFGJPB.JDT). All that return true will be placed in the appropriate recipient batch.

Syntax

;AssignToBatch;;(parameters);

Parameter	Description
Name	The recipient batch name to which the transaction should be assigned.
Delimiter	An equal sign (=). This is required.
Search mask	One or more pairs of offsets and data (search criteria) in a comma delimited list. Here is an example: ;AssignToBatch;;Manual=1,Patch399,31,AssignToBatch; This example searches the records of each transaction for the string Patch399 at offset 1 and the string AssignToBatch at offset 31. If a match is found then this transaction will be assigned to the Manual batch.

This table explains the order in which rules are assigned to recipient batches:

Batch	Order of precedence
Error	If an error occurs that causes the batch assignment of the transaction.
Manual	If the POWType rule exists in any triggered section.
Manual	If the KickToWIP rule exists and its condition are met.
xxxxxx	AssignToBatch rule assignment if the rule exists and its search criteria is met.
xxxxxx	Base form set rules such as: IfRecipUsed, BatchingByPageCountINI, BatchingByRecipINI, and so on.

Example

Here is an excerpt from an AFGJOB.JDT file:

;RULStandardJobProc;;;

…

;RulStandardTransactionProc;;;

…

;AssignToBatch;;Manual=1,Patch399,31,GVM,190,AssignToBatch;

;IfRecipUsed;2;Batch1=Customer;

…

Any transaction that has a record that matches the search criteria (character strings: 'Patch399' at offset 1, 'GVM' at offset 31 and ' AssignToBatch' at offset 190) will be assigned to the Manual batch.
