Definition
Selection rule for numeric fields and date fields.
If several senders are found during derivation, the system transfers the attribute with the lowest value. In date fields, initial fields are not included in minimum determination. In numeric fields, however, the value 0 is included. If you do not want it to be included, set the Not-empty indicator.
Note
You can also choose the minimum option for alphanumeric attributes. However, you should remember that:
- Different platforms can have different results. (EBCDIC/ASCII portability: For example in EBCDIC coding 'A' is < '1', but in ASCII coding '1' is < 'A').
- Numeric contents are compared in the same way as text. For example, '10' < '2'. (But: '002' < '010')
