Order date within range then set a value

hairyjim

HI all,

Im guessing this is pretty straight forward for some of you experienced developers, however I have a headache trying to figure it out.

I want to run a report and for each record it parses I want to check the order date and if it falls within a date range then set a value in another field.

If "Sales Header"."Order Date" 28/04/07..24/05/07 THEN
Period := P5;

Obviously this does not work.

Anyone help?

put this code in OnAfterGetRecord() Trigger:

yourtable.SETFILTER(datefield,'25/11/02..26/12/03');
if yourtable.find('-') then begin
  repeat
    a := 5;// --> fieldtochange := valueyouwant;
  until yourtable.next = 0;
end;

explanation: the first line select all the records within the value you want.
surely you can put a text variable replacing '25/11/02..26/12/03'.
the second line find the first record within the range you selected and after begins a loop that changes the value of all the fields you want to another value. the loop ends with the "until yourtable.next = 0;" line
think at this line like an "EOF"

Create a global record on table Date.

recDate.RESET;
recDate.SETCURRENTKEY("Period Type","Period Start");
recDate.SETRANGE("Period Type",recDate."Period Type"::Date);
recDate.SETRANGE("Period Start","Sales Header"."Order Date");
recDate.FILTERGROUP(10);
recDate.SETFILTER("Period Start",'28/04/07..24/05/07'); // or some other filter
IF recDate.FINDFIRST THEN // or FIND('-')
  Period := P5;

With this you want only the records (there is only 1) of "Order Date" AND the records in your filter. If "Order Date" falls also in the range, I will have 1 record. If it doesn't fall into the range, I WON'T have a record.

and if you do not want to filter:

If ("Sales Header"."Order Date" >= 280407D) and ("Sales Header"."Order Date" <= 240507D) THEN
  Period := P5;

sorry for my post!!!I saw the big big error I wrote... :oops: the code I wrote is right if putted in onpredataitem, otherwise for each record the process will execute the value change for the whole set of lines filtered
