Documentation
Definition
In this field, you use the operators to define the entered values as a single value, range or search pattern for the purposes of restricting data selection. The operators work together with the fields lower limit (From) an upper limit (To), as well as the include/exclude criterion (I/E).
The available operators are:
EQ Equal
BT BeTween
LE Less Equal
GE Greater Equal
CP Contains Pattern
EQ
Single value selection. Selects precisely the value you enter.
Example:
MEIER __ EQ _
returns the value MEIER. (Underscores denote blank input fields.)
BT
Interprets the lower and upper limit values entered as a range.
Example:
1000 2000 BT _
returns all values between 1000 and 2000.
LE
Interprets the value entered in the lower limit field as the upper limit of a range with no specified lower limit. The limit itself is included in the range.
Example:
1000 _ LE _
returns all values smaller than or equal to 1000.
GE
Interprets the value entered in the lower limit field as the lower limit of a range with no specified upper limit. The limit itself is included in the range.
Example:
1000 _ GE _
returns all values greater than or equal to 1000.
CP
The value entered in the lower limit field is masked. Here,
"+" stands for one character
"*" stands for any number of characters, even none
Example:
M++ER* _ CP _
returns all values that begin with "M", contain the letters "ER" in the third and fourth positions and end with any string of characters.
If you use the characters "*" and "+" together with another operator, they are not interpreted as placeholders, but stand for themselves.
Example:
a*c _ EQ I
returns a*c.
Note
For the first entry in the lower limit and upper limit fields, the system automatically sets the suitable operator, if none was entered.
Example:
1000 _ _ _
3000 5000 _ _
MEI* _ _ _
5000 _ GE _
When you press Enter, this becomes:
1000 _ EQ _
3000 5000 BT _
MEI* _ CP _
5000 _ GE _
If you change the lower limit value, the upper limit value or the operator after pressing Enter, you must specify the operator yourself. The same applies if you are assigning values to these fields from a program.
