RecordRef.SetRecFilter() Method

Version: Available or changed with runtime version 1.0.

Sets a filter on a record that is referred to by a RecordRef.

Syntax

 RecordRef.SetRecFilter()

Parameters

RecordRef
 Type: RecordRef
An instance of the RecordRef data type.

Remarks

This method works the same as the SetRecFilter Method (Record).

Example

The following example opens the Customer table as a RecordRef variable that is named MyRecordRef. The SetRecFilter method sets the values in the current key of the current record as a record filter. The GetFilters Method (RecordRef) retrieves the filters that have been set and displays them in a message box. No. is displayed because the filter is set on the No. field, which is the current key.

var
    MyRecordRef: RecordRef;
    varFilters: Text;
    Text000: Label 'The filter is set on the %1 field.';
begin 
    MyRecordRef.Open(Database::Customer);  
    MyRecordRef.SetRecFilter;  
    varFilters := MyRecordRef.GetFilters;  
    Message(Text000, varFilters);  
end;
