Hi everybody, i have a problem and i don't know how to resolve it.

I want to do this :
RECORD.SETFILTER(FIELD1,FIELD2,'=%1|=%2',VALUE1, VALUe2);

This code is impossible to do in Navision but nobody knows how can i do this code in different way.

Thanks a lot. :wink:

    hi,

    in navision you would do it using the option to mark records.

    - mark the necessary records (ctrl-f1)
    - if all records are marked, select view--> marked only

    if you check the help, you will find that these steps can also be performed using funtions (mark(), markedonly())

    Hope this helps

    Hey, thats crazy what you try to do :oops:
    Do it this way:

    If you want to select a simple range use the setrange command
    rec.setrange(field,fromvalue,tovalue);

    If you want to select some values do it like in the graphic interface
    filterstring := 'value1|value2';
    // Alternative: filterstring := strsubstno('%1|%2',value1,value2);
    rec.setfilter(field, filterstring);

    If you want to filter different fields the use the method above on each field
    rec.reset;
    rec.setfilter(field1,filterstring1);
    rec.setfilter(field2,filterstring2);

    Dont forget to reset all filters with rec.reset before you set the intended filters. Otherwise you can receive unexpected results from filtersettings you have done before.

    I want to do a filter with two fields. I want to filter a record by one field OR another field. This is my problem --> ONE FIELD "OR" ANOTHER FIELD NOT ONE FIELD "AND" ANOTHER FIELD.

    This issue is a little bit tricky but in Navision its possible doe do with some code:

    You need an independend filter criteria which can be done by marking the records. Another possibility is to work with temporary tables.

    So how to do:
    rec.reset;
    rec.setfilter(field1,filterstring1);
    if rec.find('-') then repeat              
      rec.mark(true);                 // Mark all selected records
    until rec.next = 0;
    rec.setrange(field1);     // clear previous filter
    
    rec.setfilter(field2,filterstring2);    // Now the records with the second criteria
    if rec.find('-') then repeat              
      rec.mark(true);                 // Mark all selected records
    until rec.next = 0;
    rec.setrange(field2);     // clear previous filter
    
    rec.markedonly(true);  // Now select all marked
    // From now on you have only the selected records
