SELECT Option-Specify a Time Period for a Variable

Use the SELECT option to apply to a particular variable the period specified with an INCLUDE or EXCLUDE command.

The SELECT option has the following syntax:

SELECT(name)
name

Must match the name operand of the ID operand for the INCLUDE or EXCLUDE command that specifies the time period to apply to the variable.

Example: Sample Commands

The following example assigns the values of 1STSHIFT, 2NDSHIFT, and 3RDSHIFT to the name operands of the INCLUDE and SELECT commands. Each associated time period from the INCLUDE command is applied to the variable.

INCLUDE 08.00.00 - 15.59.59 ID 1STSHIFT
INCLUDE 16.00.00 - 23.59.59 ID 2NDSHIFT
INCLUDE 00.00.00 - 07.59.59 ID 3RDSHIFT
