Definition
This field allows you to enter either "I" or "E".
- "I" (Inclusive) means that the single value or range you specified is selected itself.
- "E" (Exclusive) means that the single value or range you specified is excluded from the selection. The default is "I".
Example
1000 5000 BT I
returns everything between 1000 and 5000.
D _ EQ I
returns D (selects, for example, all domestic customers).
1000 5000 BT E
returns everything apart from the values between 1000 and 5000.
D _ EQ E
returns everything apart from D (selects, for example, all foreign customers).
Combining "I" and "E"
If you enter several values for a selection criterion and use both "I" and "E", the system always combines all the selections with "I" first and then removes those selections specified with "E".
Example
Suppose you want a list of addresses for the zip code areas 3000 and 6000, but want to exclude large cities. You could make your selection as follows:
3000 3999 BT I
6000 6999 BT I
3+00 _ CP E
6+00 _ CP E
The system first selects the entire ranges and then removes those values that end with '00' (i.e. the round hundred values).
