Follow these guidelines when making exceptions table entries.

  • There is a default of a 1,000-entry maximum for the exceptions table. Sort the entries sequentially by argument, in ascending order. Alphabetic arguments should precede numeric arguments.

Example

  • If you use SCFs, regions, or ZIP Codes to limit alterations for an exceptions statement, you must pass a ZIP Code field as input to Finalist.
  • For any function that performs a lookup on city/state, L3 alterations could be useful.
