## FLogic: A!=B

## Creates a flag field with value 1 where input A is not equal to input B, and value 0 where the inputs do match

## Purpose

Use this function to:

- Identify and flag non-matching records
- Calculate A<>B
- Calculate A != B
- Calculate A not equal to B

## Return Value

| Property | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **FieldType** | Integer |
