Definition

The action type describes the behaviour of an action. For each action type there is a different screen to specify the action parameters.

There are five different action types OC, OD, OF, OM and OS that deal with the offset of a component at runtime. Additional types are available for special actions. You can even use a rule as an action.

Example

A simple evaluation rule could look like this: "For object type 'BUS2081' the component 'Fiscal year' is located at offset 10 in the non-transparent field OBJKEY. If the value in OBJKEY starts with '$$$$', the offset has to be shifted right by 4 characters."

The rule contains an offset operation ("the offset has to be shifted right by 4 characters"). Therefore an action of type 'OS' (Offset shift) has to be used.
