Filter Operators

bt	Between. A filter range has to be specified in the field value. Example: [2006,2010]
eq	Equal (=)
ge	Greater than or equal to (>=)

in	Checks if the column data is contained in a list of values. The list is specified in the field value. Example: 2006,2008,2010
le	Lower than or equal to (<=)
like	String comparison. The filter value is a pattern in this case. The condition is true if the column data matches the pattern. You can use the following wildcard characters in the pattern: %: for a sequence of any characters (including spaces). _: for a single character Example: KS1000%
lt	Lower (<)
ne	Not equal to (<>)

Note that the length of the filter value must not exceed the doubled length of the SAP field.
