NOT_EQUAL

NOT_EQUAL:
  left: { arg1 } # required
  right: { arg2 } # required

Description​

The NOT_EQUAL operation is the inverse of IS_EQUAL. It checks if the provided arguments left and right are not equal. It returns a Boolean value: true if the arguments are not equal, and false if they are considered equal. All types are supported, behavior of equality depends on the provided type (see Type System). Both arguments are required to be the same type. Cross-type comparisons are not supported.

Parameters​

  • left (Operation<Any>, required):

    • Specifies the first argument for comparison.
    • This can be any operation that resolves to a supported Compliance Engine type (Text, Bytes, Number, DateTime, Collection, Boolean, etc.).

  • right (Operation<Any>, required):

    • Specifies the second argument for comparison.
    • Must be of the same type as the left argument.

Return Type​

Boolean

Examples​

  1. Checking if a text field is not equal to a text constant:

    NOT_EQUAL:
      left:
        FIELD:
          path: CA10__stateName__c
      right:
        TEXT: "stopped"

  2. Checking if a number field is not equal to a number constant:

    NOT_EQUAL:
      left:
        FIELD:
          path: CA10__ruleCount__c
      right:
        NUMBER: 50

  3. Checking inequality of boolean values:

     NOT_EQUAL:
       left:
         BOOLEAN_FROM:
           arg:
             FIELD:
               path: CA10__detailedMonitoringEnabled__c
           trueValue: "yes"
       right:
         BOOLEAN: false
