need help,filter field using variable

baru

customer.setfilter("no",10-001);

can i "no" declare using variable?

customer.setfilter(Var,10-001);

Why? Ik you can set the variable to a value you can write SETFILTER in the same place.

:? What in heavens name do you mean??? Or is my english so bad

If you want to populate a variable you use

Var := "No."

And there is no use filtering on variables because (unless it is an array) it only contains one value.

But you can do

Setrange("No.", Var);

You cannot set filters on variables, you can only set filters on fields in tables. You can use the value of a variable to set the value of the filter:

MyCodeVariable := '10-001';
MyCustomer.SETFILTER("No.",'=%1',MyCodeVariable);

It looks like you might be wanting to use a "macro substution" (I think thats what we called it in Foxpro)

if xyz then
set var := "no."
else
set var := "Alt. No."

setfilter(var,10-110);

You can't do this in Navision

I think the closest thing we have would use RecordRef

DenSter

What do you mean you can't do this in Navision....

IF xyz THEN
  MyRecord.SETFILTER("No.",SomeValue)
ELSE
  MyRecord.SETFILTER("Another No.",SomeValue);

Just because it has different syntax doesn't mean "you can't do that in Navision". Or am I missing something?

Sorry for the confusion, I was trying to make my example simple and of course you can set filters on different fields using an if statement

maybe this would be clearer

a function
setMyFilter(var)

inside the function

setfilter(var,somevalue);

Mostly I was wondering if what he was looking to do was Macro substitution
In some languages you can substitute a variable for a field

sorry, if my question is very hard to understand . because my english is very bad. #-o
so thank everyone for your help.

Of course, you can, you need to use RecordRef and FieldRef to do that...

I am not sure, this example is not tested, but you need something like this:

  RecRef.GetTable(YourRec);
  FRef := RecRef.FIELD(YourRec."Field Name");  //get the field into fieldref

  FRef.SETFILTER(SomeValue);  //set the filter to the selected field

  RecRef.SetTable(YourRec);  //set all fitlers back to your record variable
