setrange for date...help

teckpoh · 2006-12-07

hi all...

i want to gather a group of record from "item ledger entry" table whose "Posting Date" field is not later than work date..
mean..if workdate = '06/12/06' then all record must be after workdate. that is '07/12/06', or '08/12/06'....

so how to setrange for "Posting Date"
i tried to do tis but can't work.
setrange("Posting Date", '010100..%1',workdate);
setfilter("Posting Date", '010100..%1',workdate);

how to do setrange for date tat meet my criteria...????

These are the ones you need:
SETRANGE("Posting Date",0D,workdate); // Up to a date
SETRANGE("Posting Date",FromDate,311299D); // From a date

Others are:
SETRANGE("Posting Date",workdate); // Just for one day
SETRANGE("Posting Date",FromDate,ToDate); // From a date to a Date

SETFILTER('%1|%2..%3',ThisDate,Fromdate,ToDate); //This day or That Day to another day

In the help there is also a &, although I have never used it in 10 years :shock:
SETFILTER('%1&%2..%3',ThisDate,Fromdate,ToDate); //This day and That
SETFILTER('%1&%2',FirstDate,SecondDate); // This day and That Day

Thinks thats will do you for a start!

Or for example:

  SETFILTER("Posting date",'>%1',WORKDATE);

Which is better or quicker :?:
SETRANGE("Posting Date",WORKDATE+1,311299D);
SETFILTER("Posting date",'>%1',WORKDATE);
:roll:

I think the difference in filtering is not noticable!

i fixed it already by using setfilter
eg:

setfilter("Posting Date",'%1..',workdate);

Anyways...10s for ur info...

No, there is not problem with performance, but with simplicity of code to be able to read it and understand it quickly... 8)

and SETRANGE("Posting Date",WORKDATE+1,311299D); will not work, because 311299 = 31.12.1999

Yep your right it should be 31129999D not 311299D
31129999D is used in Navision's own code for 31 December 9999
Codeunit 11 Gen. Jnl.-Check Line for example.

This includes the workdate does it not :?:
setfilter("Posting Date",'%1..',workdate);

311299D is used in Navision's own code for 31 December 9999 #-o
The D at the end must make it 9999 :shock:

No... try to do MESSAGE('%1',FORMAT(311299D,0,4)); :-)

if you want 31.12.9999 you must use 31129999D -> it is same as when you enter it into date field on form...

Yep I just changed my other post! :oops:

But if you put in 01012006D then Navision chops it to 010106D when it compiles.

So what happens in 2106?, not that I will be around to worry
