Selection Criteria Coding Rules

The following is a listing of selection criteria coding rules:

SEL statement must occur after the last output module specified (See JCL below) in the input stream.
SEL must be coded in column 2.
The phrase WHEN must follow the word SEL (i.e., SEL WHEN).
Selection parameters can immediately follow the selection phrase (i.e., SEL WHEN USER EQ 'JONES').
Boolean logic for selection criteria is supported as follows:
LT -- Less than

LE -- Less than or equal

GT -- Greater than

GE -- Greater than or equal

NE -- Not equal to

EQ -- Equal to

AND -- And

OR -- Or
To continue a selection request to multiple lines, place an "*" in column 1 of the second, third, and subsequent selection cards.
Once the SEL has been coded in column 2, the coding of all subsequent selection criteria is free-form.
