Retrieving records that related to current session date in a view

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hi all,

I have a view (HistoryView) in my AOT based on the query object (HistoryQuery) and I'd like to select records that have dateFrom <= SystemDateGet()
How can I do this?
I can't add just a simple range to a query using a SystemDateGet() function as a Value. Maybe current session date is stored in a table somewhere so I can just join it?

Thanks!

    Technically a view is a piece of SQL code stored in database and you can't use X++ functions such as systemDateGet() in SQL. Create a view without your filter and apply the filter when selecting data from the view.

    I agree, so as far as I understood there are no places in the system that store current session date in a field of a table?

    Storing current date makes no sense - it's changing every day :-) and users in different time zones may have different days at the same time. Current time is already maintains by OS and it's easy to ask for it (X++ functions, GetDate() in T-SQL), so there is now reason to store it in a table.

    You can also change the session date and time not to match the current date and time, but I don't know how it's stored. I assume AX somehow stores the offset from the current date and time. Also don't forget that it's for an individual session. In either case, it's not something you want in your view definition, in my opinion.
