Definition/Access: Verbs, Releases: AP and R83

Defines selection criteria portion of an Access sentence.

Description

represents the set of selection criteria clauses that determine which items should be selected for processing by Access.

See the 'with' modifier for additional information on selection criteria clauses.

Example

list entity with name 'ar]' name

In this example, only those items whose 'name' field begins with
'ar' are selected. (See 'selection criteria' for more
information).

list entity with name 'mi]' and with phone '804]'

This example shows two selection clauses connected with an 'and',
which means that both conditions must be evaluated as true for items to be
selected for processing.

list entity with name 're]' or with city 'irv]' name city

This example shows a mutually exclusive set of selection crtieria connected
with an 'or'. Either condition evaluating to true accepts the item
for processing, that is, if the 'name' attribute begins with
'ar', or the 'city' attribute begins with 'irv',
the item is selected for output.

list entity with name 'ar]' and with city 'irv]' or with
city 'san]' and with contact '[joe]'

This example lists those items which meet one of two criteria: a name starting
with 'ar' and with a city starting with 'irv', or, a city
starting with 'san' and a contact containing the string
'joe'.
