Using Conditions

A CA 2E condition both specifies the values or set of values that a field may take and indicates what those values mean.

Conditions are used to

• Validate the entry of data
• Specify the select/omit criteria for access paths
• Specify processing conditions in action diagrams
• Condition the appearance of fields on function device formats
• Specify function parameter values when calling functions in action diagrams
• Specify default field values for adding records to a database
