Entry Field Options: WHERE (condition)

If you wish to select only those records that meet a specific criteria, you can add a conditional test next to any of the panel fields. This test can be a predefined user name, a number, or a number to be used with a comparison operator (<, >, =) specified in the Op column. The following table shows valid criteria for each of the entry fields:

Entry Field

Type of Criteria

ORD Type

Predefined user name

Charge Element

Predefined user name

Qualifier

Predefined user name

Period Number

Number (up to 3 digits)

Accounting Structure (1 - 5)

Predefined accounting level

Rec Count

Number and comparison operator in Op column

Units

Number and comparison operator in Op column

Rate

Number and comparison operator in Op column

Charge

Number and comparison operator in Op column

Note: If you request a summary or a summary-with-breaks report, specifying selection criteria within the Rec Count, Units, Rate, and Charge fields causes the generation of a SQL HAVING clause instead of a WHERE clause. The SQL HAVING clause is similar to SQL WHERE clause, but qualifies groups rather than individual fields.

CA PMA Chargeback can display results in any format, regardless of the criteria you specify. The examples that follow show summary and summary-with-breaks reports.
