tabid

table identifier.

 

The identifier of a table, specified in the TABLE command, containing the

 

numeric value to which the test field is compared.

No default

CRITERIA VALUE

• A test criteria specifying the EQ operator may return a true

parameter: points

result even though the character strings being compared are

to note

not identically equal. For example, ‘0000’ is equal to ‘0,’ ‘0.0,’

 

‘$0.00,’ and so forth.

 

• A numeric character string is compared with a constant

 

character string only if the numeric string is properly

 

constructed. The system observes the following rules when

 

evaluating a numeric character string:

 

– A properly constituted numeric character string should

 

consist of a single sequence of numeric characters, which

 

may be interspersed only with characters from a rigidly

 

defined set of “separator” characters that are allowed in

 

the format of a decimal number.

 

Improperly constructed numeric character strings would

 

include such strings as ‘1, 2, 3’, ‘957N4218’, and ‘00–

 

123’.

 

– All numeric character strings are evaluated as decimal

 

numbers, with a decimal point separating the integer

 

portion of the number from the fractional portion of the

 

number.

 

Due to international variations in decimal number formats,

 

the characters that are interpreted as the decimal point,

 

and the characters that are interpreted as the “thousands”

 

separator are taken from the VCODE table that is

 

specified in the VOLUME command. The VCODE

 

command is used to specify the character translation

 

code and/or the character type code, and must be

 

specified if the VCODE command defaults are not

 

applicable.
