<> (not equal to) (PEL)

This operator performs a comparison operation that determines whether the value of one PerformancePoint Expression Language (PEL) expression is not equal to the value of another PEL expression.

Expression1 <> Expression2

Operands

  • Expression1
    A valid PEL expression that returns a Boolean value, a numeric value, or a string.
  • Expression2
    A valid PEL expression that returns a Boolean value, a numeric value, or a string.

Return Value

A Boolean value based on the following conditions:

  • TRUE if both parameters are non-null, and the first parameter is not equal to the second parameter.

  • FALSE if both parameters are non-null, and the first parameter is equal to the second parameter.

  • NULL if either or both parameters evaluate to a null value.

Remarks

The operands may be of type Boolean, Number, or String. However, to perform an operation, Expression1 and Expression2 must agree in type.
