Decision Types and Codes
Falcon Expert has a set of functions that, when executed, generate a decision type / decision code pair.
Falcon includes up to eight of these pairs in scoring response messages.
A decision type is a name, and a decision code is a value associated with that name, for example,
SendAuthAdvice() can send the decision type/code pair:
authAdvice
/decline
. Some of the functions have hardcoded decision types and codes; some enable you to create your own decision types and codes.

- Generating Customized Decision Types and Codes
SendCustomAdvice() generates a custom decision type and code pair in the scoring response message. For example, you could define a custom decision type to be blockCode and the associated decision code to be 1 if the cardholder's account should be blocked. - Decision Priority
Falcon includes up to ten unique decision type/code pairs in each scoring response message. When a transaction generates more than ten pairs Falcon includes only the first ten in the scoring response message and enters an error message in pmax.log.
