Characteristic Value in PO PR release strategies . 

Value of a characteristic.

• If the characteristic has character format (CHAR), this field contains a single character string.

• Values in time format (TIME) must have the format HH:MM:SS. The separators are set automatically.

Example:  112855  --> 11:28:55

• The values in date format (DATE) must have the format DD.MM.YYYY. The separators are set automatically.

Example: 110100  --> 11.01.2000

Note
If you valuate validity parameters, you cannot specify intervals. You can only specify individual values.

• The following description does not apply to the valuation of validity parameters:

• If the characteristic format is numeric (NUM), time (TIME), or date (DATE), you can enter a number or (if allowed) an interval.

Intervals are written in the following format:

Value1 - Value2	(from Value1 to Value2)
>Value1	(greater than Value1)
>=Value1	(greater than or equal to Value1)
<Value2	(less than Value2)
<=Value2	(less than or equal to Value2)
>Value1 - <Value2	(greater than Value1 and less than Value2)
Value1 - <Value2	(greater than or equal to Value1 and less than
	Value2)
>Value1 - Value2	(greater than Value1 and less than or equal to
	Value2)

If the characteristic has more than one value, you can enter multiple values separated by semicolons.
If you have maintained a unit of measure for numeric values in the formatting data of the characteristic, the unit is displayed automatically when you confirm.

Note

If you want to define intervals as allowed values of a characteristic, you must define the characteristic as "multiple-value" when you maintain the characteristic in the Classification System. This also allows you to enter more than one interval.

However, if you assign more than one interval to a characteristic of a class during configuration (for example, 1-2 and 5-6 for characteristic LENGTH), the system only reads one of the intervals when generating an inspection lot in QM. To avoid this problem, do NOT assign more than one interval to a characteristic.
