Date SysQueryRangeUtils

Posted on by 55

We use the Dynamics AX standard queries to create queries for e.g. PriceDiscTable. Assume we want to have all PriceDiscTables for ItemNumber "xy" it's quite easy:

ItemRelation = xy

Additional we would like to retrieve only records that have a ValidTo date greater than yesterday.

ToDate: >day(-1)

So i would expect that a record with ToDate 2017/07/03 is part of this query. But it isn't. It doesn't matter which value i try, it will always display only those records with ToDate greater than today, that corresponds to ">day()".

You can simply reconstruct this behaviour in the TableBrowser for table PriceDiscTable.

If i use this expression in a simple job, it gives the expected output with date from yesterday:

info(strfmt(">%1",SysQueryRangeUtil::day(-1)));


Btw:

The function SysQueryRangeUtil::GreaterThanDate(-1) works like expected, but according to the documentation day(-1) should work as well.

Any ideas for this strange behaviour or do i miss something?

    (day(-1)) would work fine (although it's not useful in your case, as it returns a single date), while >day(-1) isn't a valid range value. You can't freely combine SysQueryRangeUtil methods with operators; that's why there are methods like greaterThanDate().

    Hi Martin,

    thanks for your reply.

    So it's unfortunately that AX doesn't complain about this combined use. Anyway, we'll stick to the method greaterThanDate().

    For some reason it is not possible to combine greaterThanDate with "", like (greaterThanDate(-1)),"".

    If I filter on a table with empty date values it wont show me any records. Is there an alternative way to combine those two expressions?

    Yes, that's not a correct range value. You can create two ranges, one for the function and for the empty value.

    But is there a way for the filter function in tables (strg + g) / combining both function?

    Ctrl+G is just for the quick filtering of grids. Use Advanced Filter / Sort (Ctrl+F3) instead.

    Oh - pretty simple :) Thank you.
