Definition

If you want, you can split up the general data selection for the report per set area. This is particularly useful for key fields to minimize the number of database accesses.

If, for example, you want to select the value intervals 400000 - 410000 and 800000 - 810000, all values from 400000 - 810000 will be selected if you do not make an entry in this field, and the the non-required fields will only be sorted out afterwards in the detailed selection. If you enter a value greater than 1 in this field, only the value intervals 400000 - 410000 and 800000 - 810000 will be read from the file.

If, due to a set, there are more value intervals for a field than is allowed for the separation with MAX_SEL, the value intervals are not split up.

It is only advisable to make an entry in this field if the field in question is a key field and all previous key fields also have a value for MAX_SEL.
