Documentation
Definition
You can use the input values "I" and "E" in this field. "I" (inclusive) means: the single value or range you have entered is included in the selection.
"E" (exclusive) means: only the single value or range you have entered is excluded from the selection.
The inclusive and exclusive criteria work together with the fields LOW (lower limit) and HIGH (upper limit) and with the operators in the field OPTION.
Example
SIGN OPTION LOW HIGH
----------------------------------------
I BT 1000 5000
Returns all values between 1000 and 5000.
SIGN OPTION LOW HIGH
----------------------------------------
I EQ D _
Returns D only (selected e.g. all domestic creditors).
SIGN OPTION LOW HIGH
----------------------------------------
E BT 1000 5000
Returns all values except for values between 1000 and 5000.
SIGN OPTION LOW HIGH
----------------------------------------
E EQ D _
Returns all values except for D (e.g. selects all foreign creditors).
Combination of "I" and "E"
If you enter several values (ranges) as the selection criterion and use both "I" and "E", all selections with "I" are first found and then those with "E".
Example
You want to group addresses of postal codes between the range of 3000 and 6000, but exclude cities from the selection. The selection may look like:
SIGN OPTION LOW HIGH
----------------------------------------
I BT 3000 3999
I BT 6000 6999
E CP 3+00 _
E CP 6+00 _
At first the whole range is selected, then from this values that are straight hundreds are extracted.
