Block Step Type for Dynamic Parallel Processing with End

[Schmidt, Jake (SN)]

Hey Ramki, strange perhaps you could use a process control step to
cancel the block....
FYI I was using workflow container not the local container, I think.
Worth testing with local container if process control step doesn't do
it.
Good luck let me know if you get it working

Hi Jake,

I tried both "P Par for each" and "S For each" based on a multiline
container element. Within the block a main container (note: not local
block) element (say Flag) is set to 'Y' based on a user decision.  The
end condition for block is 'Flag =  Y'.
When the condition is met, the incomplete parallel branches are not
logically deleted. In case of Block type 'S' the next block is started
even after the condition is met.

Thanks,
Ramki.
