Double dot (..) in value of a field creates error.

Posted on by Vishal Jevtani 278

I was debugging an issue on PO. When trying to post invoice, it updates inventory and throws error. I found out that a query range was being added on a field through query.addrange().value();. The value was like 'rec..2', having double dots. When i saw the final transformed query from watch window, it made it like this -> (inventTrans.PakingslipId >= 'rec' AND inventTrans.PackingSlipId <= '2'). it removed the dots and broke the value. Query returned no record. I couldn't understand why it happened. when I corrected the value of packing slip id, having no double dots. It ran fine. 

Can anyone elaborate why it happened?

    Axapta interprets these two points are a range like range with dates (01012016 to 31122016)

    This happens when developers don't handle values correctly.

    You want query.addrange().value(queryValue("rec..2")) instead of query.addrange().value("rec..2"), because queryValue() escapes special characters such as '.'.

    If you need to do escaping manually, such as when you're adding a range through GUI, you can use rec\.\.2 instead of rec..2.
