HR Writer Detail Criteria (HR65.8)
Use HR Writer Detail Criteria (HR65.8) to define values for the detail data items you selected in HR65.7 (HR Writer Detail Selection). In other words, on this screen, you determine which detail records to include in the report.
The data items you select in HR65.7 display on the top half of the screen. On the bottom half of the screen, you enter include or exclude ranges and values, and assign item groups to the items.
More Information
When selecting detail for your report, you may want to include only information pertaining to certain dates. For example, to include only payments within a quarter, you can enter values in the Date Range field or you can enter Include in the Include/Exclude field and a date range in the Beginning Value and Ending Value fields on this screen. Entering a date range in this screen, in HR70.1 (HR Writer Inquiry), or HR170 (HR Writer Report Request) rather than under the detail criteria makes the report generation more efficient because the application does not have to read all records in the file to pick out the records to include.
You can override the Date Range and Suppress Individual fields defined as detail criteria, in HR70.1 (HR Writer Inquiry Request) and HR170 (HR Writer Report Request) at run time.
Use the Item Group field to create "and" or "or" conditions. Item groups with the same number are used to identify selection criteria as "and" conditions. An individual must meet all criteria in the item group to be included in the report.
Use item groups with different numbers to identify selection criteria as "or" conditions. That is, an individual must meet all the criteria in at least one item group to be included on the report.
You can use a wildcard ("*") for alpha fields. The wildcard must be entered at the beginning of the field, and the end of the field must be left blank. For example, you can enter AN* to search for job codes that start with AN. You cannot enter *ING to search for job codes that end with ING.
