| Utility compares the content of the specified field of each record with the specified
value, and prints only those records whose test results are true.
The following table describes the columns in the Specify Record Selection display.
Column Description
AND/OR AND and OR are the only values that you can specify in the
AND/OR
column. If this column is left blank and the other three columns (Field,
Test and Value) in the same line are specified, AND is assumed.
If AND and OR are specified together, AND is evaluated before OR.
For example,
YEAR EQ 199
AND MONTH RANGE 11 12
OR YEAR EQ 1991
AND MONTH RANGE 1 2
means the period from November 1990 through February 1991.
Field Any fields of the input record format in the input database file can be
specified. You can list all fields in the database file by pressing the F4
key after positioning the cursor in this column.
