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.
