Criteria Identifier

The criteria identifier is the identifier of a Common Application Services (CAS) criteria definition or the value FREEFORM. When the report is generated, CAS is called to build the criteria or to present the CAS Criteria panel when FREEFORM is defined. The criteria received from CAS is then passed to the service procedure and the report exit procedure. This enables criteria to be shared between different reports and for ad-hoc inquiries to be easily handled.
