Selection

Use selection criteria to restrict your view of a database. Selection criteria are stored in a PDS member and contain one or more selection conditions.

Selection conditions are the individual search terms in a selection criteria member that are used to identify the specific segments or records that you seek. A selection condition consists of a field, an operator, and a literal or the value to which the field is compared.

You can specify the selection conditions by entering the conditions individually or by importing a selection criteria member.
