These files contain the Decision Tables.

The structure of the decision table files is different than that of most other SWAT+ input files. As usual, the first line is reserved for a title. The second line in the file specifies the total number of decision tables included in the file.

Each decision table has three parts, which all have their own headers. First, the name of the decision table and the number of conditions, alternatives, and actions are specified.

Field	Description	Type
name	Name of the decision table	string
conds	Number of conditions	integer
alts	Number of alternatives	integer
acts	Number of actions	integer

Next, the conditions and alternatives are defined. The number of lines used for this part of the decision table depends on the number of conditions.

Field	Description	Type
var	Condition variable	string
obj	Object type	string
obj_num	Object ID	integer
lim_var	Limit variable	string
lim_op	Limit operator	string
lim_const	Limit constant	real
alt	Alternative	string

Finally, the outcomes and actions are defined. The number of lines used for this part of the decision table depends on the number of actions.

Field	Description	Type
act_typ	Type of action	string
obj	Object type	string
obj_num	Object ID	integer
name	Name of the action	string
option	Action option	string
const	Action constant	real
const2	Action constant	real
fp	File pointer for action option	string
outcome	Outcome	string
