Definition

Some index types support further fine selection - either generic or a range of values. This field contains the generic key specification or the lower limit of the range, regardless of whether you specify an upper limit.
For example, in the case of customer matchcode 'D' (index type M, index ID), you could enter:

A..BC

If you do not specify an upper limit, the system selects all records where the sort field (1st field in matchcode structure) begins with A and the city (3rd field in matchcode structure) with BC. If you enter an upper limit such as

U..XY

the system selects all records that are generically greater than or equal to the lower limit and smaller than and equal to the upper limit.

Table matchcodes also allow you to specify the argument for reading the ATAB table generically or specifying the lower and upper limit.

Example:

Matchcode table T9ZZZ

Contents:

AAC>0000000008
ABD>0000000005
BAC>0000000006
BBC>0000000003

Specifications: Index type T, Index ID T9ZZZ,

Lower limit A, no upper limit.

This selects the customer numbers 0000000008 and 0000000005 for the generic argument.

Lower limit AA, upper limit BA.

This selects the customer numbers 0000000008, 0000000005 and 0000000006 (from the first three table lines).
