Extract FromDate and ToDate From Date Advanced Filtering Input

Posted on by HAIRUL HAZRI 1,214

Hi,

I'm creating a form grid view with working calendar dates as the main datasource. User should be able to filter date range using advanced filter like 1/3/2019..31/3/2019

The query range is like Date >= 1/3/2019 && Date <= 31/3/2019.

Is there any way to extract the input values and store 1/3/2019 as FromDate and 31/3/2019 as ToDate? 

I'd like to use these values for comparison with each line of it's child data source later.

Thank You.

    Filter you add is effectively a query range. Let's say you have QueryBuildDataSource (qbds), to get range value you do

    dateRange = qbds.findRange(fieldNum(MyTable, MyField));
if (dateRange )
{
    info(dateRange.value());
}

    and you can always get qbds from a query by table id.

    Thank you Ievgen. It works. 

    Here's my completed code in case somebody needs it:

    Query                   query;
QueryRun                queryRun;
QueryBuildDataSource    qbdsWorkCalendarDate;
QueryBuildRange         qbrProductionDate, dateRange;
int                     rmFromDate, rmToDate;
str                     dateRangeValue, fromDateStr, toDateStr;
TransDate               fromDate, toDate;

query = new Query();

//define data sources
qbdsWorkCalendarDate = query.addDataSource(tableNum(WorkCalendarDate));

qbrProductionDate = qbdsWorkCalendarDate.addRange(fieldNum(WorkCalendarDate, TransDate));

qbdsWorkCalendarDate.addOrderByField(fieldNum(WorkCalendarDate, TransDate));

queryRun = new QueryRun(query);

if (queryRun.prompt())
    {
        while(queryRun.next())
        {
            //After prompt, range is specified. So query is modified. Get modified query range value. Otherwise query only has range but without value.
            query = queryRun.query();
            qbdsWorkCalendarDate = queryRun.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(WorkCalendarDate));
            dateRange = qbdsWorkCalendarDate.findRange(fieldNum(WorkCalendarDate,TransDate));
            dateRangeValue = dateRange.value();
            
            //Extract from date
            rmFromDate = strFind(dateRangeValue,"..",1,strLen(dateRangeValue));
            fromDateStr = strDel(dateRangeValue, rmFromDate, strLen(dateRangeValue));
            fromDate = str2Date(fromDateStr, 123);
            
            
            //Extract toDate
            rmToDate = strFind(dateRangeValue,"..",1,strLen(dateRangeValue));
            toDateStr = strDel(dateRangeValue, 1, rmToDate + 1);
            toDate = str2Date(toDateStr, 123);
            
            info(strFmt("From %1 To %2", fromDate, toDate));
        }
    }
