Using logical processing Options Table 3-9. CRITERIA CONSTANT parameter options and definitions Option Definition offset The offset in bytes (relative to zero) from the start of the user portion of the record to the field in the record being compared. length The length in bytes of the test field. Its range is 1 to 255. EQ Indicates the operation EQUAL TO. NE Indicates "not equal to." tabid table identifier. The identifier of a table, specified in the TABLE command, that contains the constant to which the test field is compared. Default No default CRITERIA CONSTANT parameter syntax example The following CRITERIA command syntax diagram describes a test for a subfield equal to a specific constant table. criid: CRITERIA CONSTANT=(offset, length, EQ, tabid); In the above syntax, the CONSTANT parameter specifies that the content of a record is to be compared to the values that were specified in a TABLE command with identifier tabid. Refer to the "TABLE command" section in this chapter for an explanation of the tabid parameter. The subfield that will be compared is located the number of bytes indicated by the offset variable from the start of the user portion of the record. The subfield has a length the number of bytes indicated in the length variable. When the subfield in the record matches a constant in the table, the CRITERIA command is TRUE and the processing specified by the parameter is completed or acted upon. CRITERIA LINENUM Specifies the range of consecutive line numbers for which the CRITERIA command is fully evaluated. Syntax CRITERIA LINENUM = (init, count) Using LCDS Print Description Language 3-17
