**It is sometimes convenient to add code that implements business rules in a procedure. In this case, the rules entered in the Global Rules dialog window merely call the appropriate procedure. To make this structure more convenient to use, the Global Template provides a means by which a standard rules procedure call can be established for every column in a table.**

**The standard rules procedure call is:**

**MyProc('fieldname',Action,1)**

** **

**Code generated by the Local Business Rules Manager BINDs Action as follows:**

**BIND('Action',ThisWindow.Request)**

** **

**MyProc should be prototyped with three STRING parameters, passed by value, and a LONG return:**

**MyProc PROCEDURE(STRING Field,STRING Action,STRING HandleErrors),LONG**

More information about standard rules procedures can be found in the //ABC Library Reference //PDF.

The** Add Standard Procedure Calls** dialog provides the following prompts:

**File Name**

Enter the name of the table for which you want to produce standard rule procedure calls. The ellipsis button can be used to display a list of available tables.

**Procedure Name**

Enter the name of the procedure to be called. This name corresponds to "MyProc" in the example above.

**Do It!**

Press the **Do It!** button to generate a rule for every column in the specified table. The template will not overwrite existing rules for a particular column.
