How to use in clause to search multiple comma seperated values in x++

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Palak jain 97
Hi everyone i have a requirement where i want to search container values in select query
below is a demo example 
 
container test = [‘A’ , ‘B’];
DemoTable Demotable;// it has one field teststring of string type
 
String testStr = con2str(test);// comma seperated values of container
 
select demotable where demotable.teststring in test
 
the above query gives an error and reason behind that IN clause is only supported with enums like if i have container with enum values then the above query would have worked
 Query : is there any other way to search comma seperated values in select statement in d365 or search container values in sql query in x++
 
thanks for the help and replies

    Use Query* classes instead of the select statement. Iterate the container and add a range for each value. For example: 
    Query query = new Query();
QueryBuildDataSource qbds = query.addDataSource(tableNum(DemoTable));

for (int i = 1; i <= conLen(test); i++)
{
    qbds.addRange(fieldNum(DemoTable, TestString)).value(queryValue(conPeek(test, i)));
}

QueryRun qr = new QueryRun(query);
while (qr.next())
{
    DemoTable demoTable = qr.getNo(1);
}

    Adding to Martin you can also do like,
     
    loop through container and inside the loop select the table buffer using conpeek().

    Hi,
    i think you can use the List into the range value.
    e.g.
    Query                   query;
QueryBuildDataSource    qbds;
List                    listRange;
queryBuildRange         qbr;

listRange   = new List(Types::String);
query       = new Query();
qbds        = query.addDataSource(tableNum(<YourTable>));

listRange.addEnd("1st value");
listRange.addEnd("2nd value");
.
.
listRange.addEnd("n value");
qbr         = qbds.addRange(fieldNum(<YourTable>, <FieldRange>));
qbr.value(SysQueryRangeUtil::queryListRange(rangeList));
    Best regards,
    Mohamed Amine Mahmoudi

    ... but you would still need to iterate the container as shown in my code. You'd just first add values to a list instead of directly adding a range.
