Determining the validity of the data values by range

When you are reviewing the results of a column analysis job, you can set a minimum value and a maximum value for the data values that you are validating. All values that fall outside of this range are set to invalid. You can also leave either the minimum or the maximum value blank but not both.

About this task

You can add a new data value to the frequency distribution if the minimum value or maximum value is not in the frequency distribution. To set a range to determine the validity of the data values, complete the following procedure.
