Use this keyword to specify how the attribute you selected is to be ranked. There are six methods to choose from.

• HIGHEST--the attribute will be ranked from its highest value in a descending order.
• LOWEST--the attribute will be ranked from its lowest value in an ascending order.
• LT: value--the attribute will be ranked from a value less than the specified value in a descending order.
• LE: value--the attribute will be ranked from a value less than or equal to the specified value in a descending order.
• GT: value--the attribute will be ranked from a value greater than the specified value in an ascending order.
• GE: value--the attribute will be ranked from a value greater than or equal to the specified value in an ascending order.

Default: None. You must select one of the six available ranking methods.

Rules:

2. Value (for LT, LE, GT, and GE) must be nine digits or less. Leading zeros are not required.
3. HIGHEST or LOWEST must be specified when RANKWHAT=#RU is specified.
