Understanding Select/Omit

CA 2E lets you specify selection using a select/omit set. A given access path may have none, one, or many select/omit sets specified. If there is more than one set, the sets are ORed together.

Once a record satisfies a select or omit set, it is either selected or omitted and further sets are not relevant. If a record does not satisfy a select or omit set, it will be tested against subsequent sets. If a record does not satisfy any select or omit set, it is omitted if the last set was a select set and selected if the last set was an omit set.

Each set is made up of one or more conditions that specify the actual values that a field may take. If there is more than one condition, the conditions within a set are ANDed together.

For example, if there are two conditions, both must be valid for the entire set to be valid.

In the following example, the access path suspended order is made of two select/omit sets: Awaiting Confirmation and Passed Credit Check. Each of the select/omit sets are defined by one or more conditions.
