S - Continuous data, range (min, max)

 
Note that from 2024, the S field contains 2 values (min-max) instead of 4.
Fields created before will keep the full value up to the moment the value is being updated.
 
 
 
 
 
Code of field: S
 
Type of field: continuous range data.
 
Storage: Four 64 bit real numbers.
 
 
Applicable to:
 
Continuous range data where two possible values can be recorded: minimum and maximum.
 
Note: Fields created before 2024 may still have 4 values:
Minimum, low percentile (ex: 5% percentile), high percentile (ex: 95% percentile) and maximum values.
 
 
Comments:
 
S characters format has been created to handle continuous characters having 2 values (minimum and maximum).
 
Data must be in linear order and monotonous.
 
Value must be numeric and can be either positive or negative.
 
The following condition must therefore be fulfilled: minimum <= maximum.
 
Encoding of data can be done by inserting the wanted values in one of the 2 boxes (Min and Max).
