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.

    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));
        }
    }

    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.
