Condition Types

A condition type specifies the type of validation rule it imposes. CA 2E has four types of conditions, divided into two categories: those that are used with status fields and those used with non-status fields.

The condition types allowed for status fields are:

VAL (Value)
LST (Value List)

The condition types allowed for non-status fields are:

CMP (Compare)
RNG (Range)

This table lists the valid condition types and the field types to which they can be attached. The use of the different types of field conditions is described in the sections following the table.
