Selection Conditions 

After you have the parameters and the selection set defined, you can set
up some selection rules at the Selection Condition screen.  Remember that
you must define the parameters and enter the name in the Parameter field
in Define Selection before you can use the parameter in either a
selection condition or in a relation condition.

To define Selection Conditions 

   1.  At the Define Selection screen, choose Select'n Condit'n.

   2.  Type the selection conditions using the Calculation Language as
       described in Chapter 15 .

       This is an example of selection conditions using the Calculation
       Language:


            

   3.  Press Enter when you are satisfied with the calculation.

   4.  Choose Exit to return to the previous screen.


NOTE  Instead of using a selection condition, you can define the same
      criteria in a relation condition for the final access table.  The
      only difference is that the relation condition applies to the whole 
      report, regardless of the selection set with which the report is
      compiled, while the selection condition applies to a specific
      selection set.  See Chapter 2  for more about relation
      conditions.
