Definition

This field enables you to determine whether or not a rule is followed by more lines.

Information on whether a rule is followed by another line must be stored in the operation field.

There are three options:

  • Operation * under the next plus sign
  • Operation NEXTR in the next operation field
  • Operation NEXTR a in the next operation field

* or NEXTR

Operation NEXTR acts just like operation *. In both instances, you must use this field to number each subsequent line consecutively without leaving any gaps. You can use numbers 1 to 9 in that order.

NEXTR a

If you choose operation NEXTR a, you can define variable a as a number from 0 to 9 or a letter from A to Z as the next line. You must then repeat the variable specified in this field in the line that you want to define as the next line. This ensures that you are able to define any line you choose as the next line.

Combination of NEXTR a and * (or NEXTR)

The combination of NEXTR a and * (or NEXTR) enables you to define up to 36 more lines consecutively. Please define the first additional line using NEXTR a and then continue numbering them using * (or NEXTR). The following lines are numbered automatically, first from variables a to Z and then from 0 to 9.

Example

        VarKey NL T Operation Operation Operation Operation 
       -------------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---- 
000010              ADDWT *   ADDWT /001NEXTR A 
000020          A   ADDWT /002* 
000030          B   ADDWT /003NEXTR 
000040          C   ADDWT /004

Comment

If you want to enter a comment in a rule line, please ensure that the next line is always defined before the comment directly after the last operation in the next operation field.

Example (correct)
