Documentation
Definition
To calculate the value of a local field, you can specify a calculation formula. Since the general rules governing such formulae can be found in the online help, the following description covers only special information about conditions.
Conditions are special formulae which always result in a declaration indicating whether the condition was satisfied (true) or not (false). Depending on the outcome, the formula is then used to calculate the value of the local field or the next condition is evaluated.
In its most basic form, a condition consists of just one comparison, but you can link several comparisons together using logical operators.
A comparison comprises two operands linked by one of the following operators:
- = Equal
- <>, >< Not equal
- < Less than
- <=, =< Less than or equal
- > Greater than
- >=, => Greater than or equal
Valid operands are formulae which have the same structure as the formulae specified to calculate the value of a local field.
The following operators are valid for linking comparisons:
- NOT (negation of result of subsequent comparison)
- AND (AND link of two comparisons)
- OR (OR link of two comparisons)
The processing sequence conforms to the usual rules, i.e. negations (NOT operations) take priority over AND operations which in turn take priority over OR operations. However, you can change this sequence to suit your own requirements by using parentheses.
As an example, you could formulate the condition that a particular date must fall in the years 1990 to 1992 as follows:
1990 <= DATE[YEAR] AND DATE[YEAR] <= 1992

Dependencies
If the fields provided on the screen for the formula and the condition are sufficient to allow full specification of the calculation formula for the local field, you can use these fields for input. Otherwise, use the Complex calculation function, which branches to an editor where you can enter all the necessary calculations.
If you used the editor earlier to enter a calculation formula that was too complex to be entered in the fields on the screen, these fields are not ready for input. To change the calculation formula, you must use the Complex calculation function.
