Entering Altitude Constraints in the FMGC

Hi Everyone,

I just bought the Airbus Extended and I am having a lot of fun with the addon, but I just have one question. I've done a search on the forums and read through the provided documentation, but I haven't found any answers to what I have to ask. I'm used to flying Boeing aircraft where I can enter in altitude constraints by typing in A or B for at or above, or at or below after the altitude.

I have figured out how to type in at or above, and at or below constraints (MIN 5000 would be +5000), but how would I enter those constraints which are in between two altitudes. For example, look at the waypoint "ROPPR" on the chart that I linked below. The constraint is above 4800 but below 7000. In the FMGC, it is entered as 7000-4800, but if I try the same format for another waypoint, I get a "BAD FORMAT" error in the FMGC.

I apologize if I accidentally overlooked a forum post which answered this exact question.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You cant enter Between constrains into MCDU. The between constrain must come from the Navdata.
