An EXPRBODY element contains Perl code that manipulates data. Perl code is often useful if a data manipulation task is too complicated to perform using the Data Foundry expressions. EXPRBODY is a child of EXPRESSION.

Oracle recommends that you perform record manipulation with a Perl manipulator rather than with a record manipulator that uses EXPRESSION elements. However, if you need to access and modify dimension sources (e.g., a dimension adapter or dimension server), you should still use expressions such as DVAL PERL. The Perl manipulator does not access dimension sources. For more information about using a Perl manipulator, see the Developer Studio Help.
