Tips for Using RORRULE
• If your rule is not producing the desired results, examine it in Expert mode.
• Check whether there is a join you are not expecting such as, to :TERM, when you don’t mean for the rule to be term-specific.
This can be identified and removed when using Expert mode.
• Use comments in this format : /*comment*/

Tips for Using RORRULE
• Before using Expert mode, create as much of the rule as possible in Simple mode and compile it.
• In Expert mode, make sure that you have at least one space following :AIDY, :PIDM and :TERM.
• The Execute button gives you an idea of syntax errors, but it doesn't execute exactly the way the COBOL program will
execute.

Tips for Using RORRULE
• When constructing selection statements surround selection statements connected with an OR with an open and closed parenthesis.
Recommended even if it appears unnecessary.
Without parentheses, Banner may be forced to make assumptions on how to process the data.
Enter the data in a way that Banner will know for sure how you want it processed.
• Do not use a view as the first rule on the Simple rule form.

Tips for Using RORRULE
• UNION, INTERSECT, and MINUS cannot be
used in RORRULEs
• The :PIDM variable must be included and
must be the last rule.
• The :TERM and :PERIOD variables cannot
be used in Fund Awarding (Type A) and
Packaging Group Fund Awarding (Type F)
rules.
