Oper-
and1 Oper-
and2 Result Example Remark
Text Text Number "Metrohm" AND "AG" --> 1
"" AND "AG" --> 0
An empty character string ("") is interpre-
ted as 0 (false), everything else as 1 (true).
The first operation therefore corresponds
to 1 AND 1 --> 1.
Time Time Number Time(1999;10;07) AND
Time(1999;10;07) --> 1 Time(): see Time(Date)
Operands of a different type:
Number Text Number 1.2 AND "1.2" --> 1
0 AND "1" --> 1
0 AND "0" --> 1
0 AND "" --> 0
Before the operation, the operand of the
Number type is converted to the Text
type, as a conversion from Text to Num-
ber is not useful. During the second oper-
ation, the 0 is therefore converted to "0",
which corresponds to the logical value 1
(true), as every character string that is not
empty is interpreted as 1.
Text Number Number "Metrohm" AND 1.2 --> 1 The same rules apply here as for the previ-
ous operation.
Number Time Number 2.0 AND Time(1999;10;7) -->
1
0 AND Time(1999;10;07) --> 0
Before the operation, the operand of the
Date/Time type is converted to Number
and all dates since December 30, 1899
are interpreted as 1 (true).
Time Number Number Time(1999;10;7) AND 2.5 -->
1 The same rules apply here as for the previ-
ous operation.
Text Time Number "Metrohm" AND
Time(1999;10;7) --> 1
"" AND Time(1999;10;07) -->
0
Before the operation is carried out, the
operand of the Date/Time type is con-
verted to the Text type, and every non-
empty character string is interpreted as 1
(true).
Time Text Number Time(1999;10;7) AND
"Metrohm" --> 1 The same rules apply here as for the previ-
ous operation.

Syntax
Operand1 OR Operand2
The operands can be entered either directly or as a variable and can be of
the Text, Number or Date/Time type. The result type is always a num-
ber (1 = true, 0 = false). The following cases are possible:

1 1 1
0 1 1
