Generate detail type

The generate detail type processes the message through a sequence of specified Tcl procedures to generate new route details.

This route detail only controls a message route, using a single user-written Tcl procedure. It does not usually modify the source message or directly change its metadata, although it has that option.

  • The input for a generate procedure is a keyed list of remaining route details and the source message.
  • The input to a generate procedure is a keyed list of remaining route details. Completed route details are not included in the list.

The generate detail can:

  • Modify the input detail list. For example, it can insert new details into the list or remove existing details.
  • Add additional generate details to the route detail list that are called when processed.
