Not believing it, the modeler finds that, yes, it really does work. Trying to explain it to a coworker quickly gets both modelers into thinking the discussion should be over a bottle of beer, or maybe even over many bottles of beer, especially when Marketing changes their mind... Oh, they never do that??

Copyright © by Jeremy Meier A few years back, I was presented with a difficult dilemma - restricting multiple numeric ranges, dependant with character values. Normally, if it's simple enough you can just use constraints & "if statements" to get what you need - but this was really complicated - full of "or's, and's, in's and not's". Yuck. Out of the box SAP is no help to this. It doesn't support direct ranges (1-10) and specifying out 10 lines of nearly identical data is a maintenance nightmare.
