Documentation
Definition
In this field, you enter either "I" or "E".
- "I" (inclusive) means that the selection includes the single value or range you specify.
- "E" (exclusive) means that the selection excludes the single value or range you specify. The default is "I".
Example
1000 5000 BT I
returns everything between 1000 and 5000.
GB _ EQ I
returns just GB (selects, for example, all inland customers).
1000 5000 BT E
returns everything apart from values between 1000 and 5000.
GB _ EQ E
returns everything apart from GB (selects, for example, all foreign customers).
Combination of "I" and "E"
If you enter several values/value ranges for a selection criterion and thereby use both "I" and "E", the system first compiles all the "I" selections and then removes all the "E" selections.
Example
Suppose you need a list of all zip codes in the 3000 and 6000 ranges, but want to exclude all large cities. You could specify your selection as follows:
3000 3999 BT I
6000 6999 BT I
3+00 _ CP E
6+00 _ CP E
The system first selects both entire ranges and then removes those values ending in '00' (for example, 3100, 3200, ..., 6100, 6200, ... etc.).
