Definition

The operators in this field determine whether the entered values should be used as individual values, ranges or search strings for restricting data selection. The operators work together with the fields Lower limit (from) and Upper limit (to) as well as the inclusion/ exclusion criteria (I/E).

The subsequent operators are available:

EQ    Equal
BT    BeTween
LE    Less Equal
GE    Greater Equal
CP    Contains Pattern

EQ

Selection of an individual value. The value that you entered is precisely selected.

Example:

MEIER    __    EQ    _
provides exactly the value MEIER.
(underscores symbolize empty input fields.)

BT

The two values specifying the lower and upper limits are interpreted as an interval.

Example:

1000    2000    BT    _
provides all values between 1000 and 2000.

LE

The value entered in the Lower limit field is interpreted as the upper limit of an interval with no lower limit. The limiting value itself is also selected.

Example:

1000    _    LE    _
provides all values less than or equal to 1000.

GE

The value entered in the Lower limit field is interpreted as the lower limit of an interval with no upper limit. The limiting value itself is also selected.

Example:

1000    _    _GE    _
provides all values greater than or equal to 1000.

CP

The value entered in the Lower limit field is masked. Here,
+    stands for exactly one character
*    stands for as many characters as required, including none.

Example:

M++ER*    _    CP    _
provides all values which start with M, and can then have any two characters before the letters ER and which end with any character string.

If you use the characters * and + together with another operator, they are not interpreted as placeholders but are confined to their usual meaning.

Example:

a*c    _    EQ    I
provides exactly a*c.

Note

When first making entries in the fields Lower limit and Upperlimit, the system automatically sets the appropriate operator if none has been entered.

Example:

1000    _    _    _

3000    5000    _    _

MEI*    _    _    _

5000    _    GE    _

After ENTER:

1000    _    EQ    _

3000    5000    BT    _
MEI*    _    CP    _
5000    _    GE    _
If you change the entries for Lower limit, Upper limit or Operator after you have pressed ENTER, you have to enter the appropriate operator yourself. This also applies if default values are entered in these fields by the program.
