Comparison Operators in Calculations

When you create a calculation in the Calculation Editor dialog box, you compare the value of a variable or expression with another value. IPA Designer provides several operators that you can use:

==	Equal to
>	Greater than
>=	Greater than or equal to
<	Less than
<=	Less than or equal to
!=	Not equal to

Note: When you apply comparison operators to numbers, they work just as you would expect. When you apply them to dates, date A is greater than date B if it's later than B; the other operators work similarly. For other data types such as text strings and boolean values, use only the operators Equal to and Not equal to. The other operators will technically work with the other data types, but applying them is complicated and it's safer to avoid doing so.
