Example 1

This example requires that you create the following variables and text constant in the C/AL Globals window.

Variable name	DataType	Subtype
Str	Text	Not applicable
CustLedgerEntry	Record	Cust. Ledger Entry

Text constant	ENU value
Text000	The filters are:\

CustLedgerEntry.SETRANGE(Amount, -100, 100);

Variable name	DataType	Subtype
Item	Record	Item

Item.FILTERGROUP(2); // Filter group 2 is applied.  
Item.SETFILTER("No.", '1000..1450'); // A filter is set in filter group 2.  
MESSAGE('Filtergroup 2 filters: ' + Item.GETFILTERS);   
// GETFILTERS prints the filter that is set in filter group 2  
  
Item.FILTERGROUP(0); // Change the current filter group.   
// Now filter group 0 is applied.  
MESSAGE('Filtergroup 0 filter: ' + Item.GETFILTERS);   
// GETFILTERS returns an empty string because there is no filter set   
// in the current filter group (0).  
Item.SETFILTER("No.", '70000..79999'); // Set another filter, now in filter group 0.  
MESSAGE('Now Filtergroup 0 filters: ' + Item.GETFILTERS);   
// GETFILTERS prints the new filter set in the filter group 0.  

The message windows display the following:

Filtergroup 2 filters: No.: 1000..1450

Filtergroup 0 filters:

Now Filtergroup 0 filters: No.: 70000..79999
