Positions 10 and 11, 13 and 14, and 16 and 17 contain indicators that are tested to determine if a particular calculation is to be processed. A blank in positions 9, 12, and 15 designates that the indicator must be on for a calculation to be done. An N in positions 9, 12, and 15 designates that the associated indicator must be off for a calculation to be done.
One to three indicators can be entered in positions 9 through 17 on one line. Indicators on the same line are in an AND relationship. The AND relationship means that all three indicator conditions must be satisfied before the calculation can take place. If fewer than three indicators are specified, entries need not be made in sequence; that is, an indicator can be specified in positions 16 and 17, and positions 10 through 15 can be blank. When more than three indicators are needed to condition a calculation, AND/OR must be used. Seven is the maximum number of AND/OR lines that can be specified on calculation specifications. Positions 9 through 17 can contain a combination of the type of indicators discussed in the preceding text.
