RTC Filter inaccuracy on Datetime Fields

andreaskeller

Hi,

I found an inaccuracy when using SETFILTER on datetime fields. We have datetime fields accurate to the second. In a Page e.g. OnOpenPage I want to set the filter to one specific Record, e.g. '02/10/11 11:15:37 AM'. When the Page opens no records are displayed. The same on a Form works perfectly. Datetime fields accurate to the minute work in both scenarios.
On the OnOpenPage and OnOpenForm triggers following code is written:

SETFILTER(DateTimeField, '02/10/11 11:15:37 AM');

Has anybody made similar observations, some work around? Thanks.

Below is the code of the samples I used to demonstrate the problem:

OBJECT Table 61000 DateTime Inaccuracy Test Table
{
  OBJECT-PROPERTIES

    Date=02/10/11;
    Time=11:51:20 AM;

  FIELDS

    { 1   ;   ;Primary Key         ;Code10         }
    { 2   ;   ;DateTimeField       ;DateTime       }
  }
  KEYS
  {
    {    ;Primary Key                             ;Clustered=Yes }
  }

you're right, it appears that nav filters only with the datetime filter excluding the seconds. neither this work :-k

EVALUATE(datetimefilter,'10/02/11 13.13.13');
SETRANGE(DateTimeField,datetimefilter);

nav applies only this '10/02/11 13.13'
i suggest you to search partnersource and/or ask microsoft
P.S.: if you do a findfirst, it doesn't fail, thus, i think that it's half correct :shock:

EVALUATE(datetimefilter,'10/02/11 13.13.13');
SETRANGE(DateTimeField,datetimefilter);
FINDFIRST;

Thanks for the reply. I thought I would need to contact Microsoft, but wanted to check here first.

Hello Guys, I'm facing this same problem with 2009r2. Did you finally managed to solve it?
