| >(Greater Than) | Select this option to construct a greater than (>) comparison between fields. This generates the comparison in ABL code in the Where Criteria editor. |
| <= (Less Thanor Equal) | Select this option to construct a less than or equal (<=) comparison between fields. This generates the comparison in ABL code in the Where Criteria editor. |
| >= (Greater Thanor Equal) | Select this option to construct a greater than or equal (>=) comparison between fields. This generates the comparison in ABL code in the Where Criteria editor. |
