2273	 Conversion of Decision Tables By Rule Mask Method Without Rule Mask	 Two algorithms for generating computer programs from decision tables are described. The algorithms allow handling limited entry extended entry and mixed entry tables. The algorithms are based on the rule mask method but need not have the masks at execution time. They perform the logical operations immediately rather than at the end of the interpreting process. Execution time can be considerably reduced by instantly marking rules which are not applicable Algorithms and or conditions which are already tested Algorithm . The new algorithms combine to a certain degree the advantages of mask methods with those of tree methods. decision tables rule mask rule mask method rule mask technique program generator
