The DIFFER routine compares two numeric field values. This routine uses the following five modifiers to find matching scores.
[DIFF90] [DIFF80] [DIFF70] [DIFF60] [DIFF50]
DIFFER Routine Modifiers
The [DIFF90] [DIFF80] [DIFF70] [DIFF60] [DIFF50] modifiers can be any user-defined value, but they should be listed in ascending order.
For example,
- modifier [1][2][3][4][5]
- modifier [10][20][30][40][60]
Based on the numerics that exist in the records, the difference between the two (2) records determines what score is used.|
