Use the AttributeSetFilter command in a Logic Template to filter out records that do or do not have set, a specified attribute within the specified attribute array.

An attribute array consists of anywhere from 1 to 64 consecutive attribute containers. Each attribute container contains 32 individual binary attributes, assigned 1 through 32 for the first container, 33 through 64 for the second container, and so on. Each attribute has only two possible values, 0 or 1. If the specified attribute has a value of 1, the attribute is set. If the attribute has a value of 0, the attribute is not set.

To handle uninitialized data, an attribute array with no attributes set ( ie: all attributes equal to 0 ) can be treated as a special case by setting the process flag to drop within the command. Setting the process flag to drop indicates records with attribute arrays with no attributes set are to be discarded. Setting the flag to keep indicates records with attribute arrays with no attributes set are to be passed through regardless of whether or not they match the filter criteria. Not setting the flag indicates that records with attribute arrays with no attributes set are not to be given any special consideration.

To execute a Attribute Set filter request, use the AttributeSetFilter command with three or four arguments:

AttributeSetFilter( fc, list, id ); or AttributeSetFilter( fc, list, id, flag );

AttributeSetFilter Arguments

Access the AttributeSetFilter Dialog Box by selecting Attributes->Attribute Set menu item under the Filtering category of the Logic Template editor command menu.
