See “Usage Conventions” on page 8-9 for information on how to
interpret the examples in the following table.
Operator Type Description Usage Example
+
mathematical Addition: add numbers or fields [num1] + [num2]
-
mathematical Subtraction: subtract numbers or fields [num1] - [num2]
*
mathematical Multiplication: multiply numbers or fields [num1] * [num2]
/
mathematical Division: divide numbers or fields [num1] / [num2]
^
mathematical Power of: raise a number or field by a power [num1]^2
&
text Concatenate: put together strings “str1”&”str2”
=
comparison Equal: compare values or results If ([num1]=[num2], true exp, false exp)
<>
comparison Not Equal: compare values or results If ([num1]<>[num2], true exp, false exp)
<
comparison Less Than: compare values or results If ([num1]<[num2], true exp, false exp)
>
comparison Greater Than: compare values or results If ([num1]>[num2], true exp, false exp)
<=
comparison Less Than or Equal to: compare values or
results
If ([num1]<=[num2], true exp, false exp)
>=
comparison Greater Than or Equal to: compare values or
results
If ([num1]>=[num2], true exp, false exp)
And
logical Logical And: use with Logical If to put together
more than one condition. All conditions must
be true for the Logical If function to be true.
If ([num1]=[num2] And
[num3]=[num4], true exp, false exp)
Or
logical Logical Or: use with Logical If to include more
than one condition. Only one condition must
be true for the Logical If function to be true.
If ([num1]=[num2] Or [num3]=[num4],
true exp, false exp)
Not
logical Logical Not: used with the Logical If function
to negate a condition.
If ([num1]=[num] And NOT
[num3]=[num4], true exp, false exp
()
mathematical Left and Right Parentheses: show precedence.
A matching set of parentheses must exist.
([num1]+[num2]) * 3
“ ”
text Constant Quotes: mark the beginning and
end of a character used as a constant or
