6.10.1   Using Nodes in the Selection Tree

The node is a logical container that holds the other elements as children.

Nodes are executed in order, from top to bottom. The conditions in a node form an expression. For the node to be true and the execution to continue to sub-nodes, at least one of the conditions in the node must be evaluated as true, see Figure 86.

Figure 86   Condition True

If none of the conditions in the first node are evaluated as true, the execution continues to the next sibling node, see Figure 87. The execution of the nodes continues until a modifier that stops the execution, such as an Exit modifier, is hit or when the tree reaches the end.

Figure 87   Condition False

Certain parameters are available for a selection tree node, and are described in Table 57:
