The after relational operator represents a greater than condition used in constructing selection clauses. The gt and > operators perform the same function.
The before relational operator represents a less than condition used in constructing selection clauses. The < and lt operators perform the same function as before.
The equal operator represents an equal to condition used in constructing selection clauses. When a valuestring is included, the data found in each item must match it exactly in order for the data to be selected for processing.
The not operator represents a not equal to condition. This reverses the true sense of the condition in a selection criteria. The #, no, and ne operators perform the same function as not.
