Check Filter-String

new_to_cal

Hi folks!

In a form I recently designed a user shall enter a filterstring for further processing. The string will be used in a SETFILTER-command. Is there an way I can check whether the filterstring is valid an not somthing like '><*XYZ|' - but preferably on the OnValidate of the field in the form?

Why not just let the user to filter on the field itself? If you use Field Filter (F7) or Table Filter (Ctrl+F7) then the system checks on the fly if the filter is valid.

Because the filter is used in a codeunit...

Let the user enter the filter in the field.

If needed somwhere else in the code, use this code to get the filter

FilterText := Table.GETFILTER(Field);

Salut!
