Conversion of limited-entry decision tables to computer programs

IAND Corporation, Sar~ta Monica, Calijbrnia ision tables are useful for describing a set of complex ,n rules based on given sets of conditions. Algorithms that Ticiently convert the tables into computer programs will I the usefulness of decision tables to computer users. Two gorithms, based on work done by M. S. Montalbano, are ~ed and extended here to handle dashes and ELSEm rules. The first algorithm minimizes the computer storage G -22296.
