Selection Condition Creation

For each view, you must define the selection conditions for which the view will be used. When file data is formatted using either single-record or multi-record formatting mode, the selection conditions are evaluated for each record to determine which view should be used, based on the record data.

The conditions are evaluated in the order that the views are defined to the custom record layout. When the conditions for a view are satisfied, that view is used to format the record data, showing only the fields defined in the custom record layout.

Comparing any field in the record layout with either another field or one or more literal values creates a selection condition. Use the fields to the right of the field definition to define selection conditions.
