Some work flow process points as well as Conditions allow defining comparisons between two operands (A and B). The operations that are available are defined below:
Operator |
Definition |
< |
Less than. Returns true if A is less than B. If either A or B is non-numeric, then the comparison is done between two strings, and the result will be true if the string A is less than the string B. (String comparisons will often differ from numeric comparisons). The string comparison is case sensitive. |
<= |
Less than or equal to. Returns true if A is less than or equal to B. If either A or B is non-numeric, then the comparison is done between strings. The string comparison is case sensitive. |
<> |
Not equals. Returns true if A is not equal to B. If either A or B is non-numeric, then the comparison is done between two strings. A case insensitive comparison is performed. |
= |
Equals. Returns true if A is equal to B. If either A or B is non-numeric, then the comparison is done between two strings. A case insensitive comparison is performed. |
> |
Greater than. Returns true if A is greater than B. If either A or B is non-numeric, then the comparison is done between two strings, and the result will be true if the string A is greater than the string B. The string comparison is case sensitive. |
>= |
Greater than or equal to. Returns true if A is greater than or equal to B. If either A or B is non-numeric, then the comparison is done between strings. The string comparison is case sensitive. |
Is In |
Returns true if operand A is contained within a list of items defined by operand B. Operand B is a comma-separated list of values (values that do not contain commas). If A is found within the list, true is returned. NOTE: There can be no spaces in front of or after items in the operand B list. Otherwise, A will not be matched to a member of the list of B and false will be returned. |
Is Like |
Returns true if operand B is contained within operand A (B is a substring of A). The comparison is case insensitive. |
Is Not In |
Returns true if operand A is not contained within a list of items defined by operand B. Operand B is a comma-separated list of values (values that do not contain commas). If A is not found within the list, true is returned. NOTE: There can be no spaces in front of or after items in the operand B list. Otherwise, A will not be matched to a member of the list of B and true will be returned. |
Is Not Like |
Returns true if operand B is not contained within operand A (B is not a substring of A). The comparison is case insensitive. |
Is MOD137 |
Returns true if the value in the selected field is MOD137 compliant, regardless of length. |
Is MOD137 (8) |
Returns true if the value in the selected field is MOD137 compliant and is exactly 8 digits long. |
Is MOD137 (9) |
Returns true if the value in the selected field is MOD137 compliant and is exactly 9 digits long. |
Is MOD137 (10) |
Returns true if the value in the selected field is MOD137 compliant and is exactly 10 digits long. |
Is MOD137 (11) |
Returns true if the value in the selected field is MOD137 compliant and is exactly 11 digits long. |
Starts with ... |
Returns true if the value in the selected field starts with the value entered. |
