The WHERE clause allows you to restrict the records that contribute to the target file.
The syntax of the WHERE clause is:
WHERE logical-expression
logical-expression
is a condition that returns a true or false value. See Section 3 for more information
about logical expressions.
The logical expression in a WHERE clause defines which records are restricted from
contributing to the target file. For example:
WHERE employee; BEGINS WITH "BROWN";
Using the WHERE clause to specify a link causes only the records which satisfy the
condition specified in the logical-expression to be included in the report. The link
created by the WHERE clause remains in effect only fro the associated LIST or FIND
statement. For a more complete description of linking, refer to the LINK statement in
Section 4. The following example shows how the WHERE clause is used to specify a
link:
