ISO: Someone using BR 4.3 Listview filters

Post by Susan Smith »

Hi all,

If you are using the new BR 4.3 filters for lists and grids, please contact me. I'd like to have this covered this at the conference as I think it's a VERY powerful and useful feature for us all.

This is the applicable section of the BR 4.3 release notes:

NEW SEARCH FIELD TYPE - FILTER

A new field type is defined similar to SEARCH:

RINPUT FIELDS "nn, nn, 15/FILTER 10, leading-attributes, 2D-row, 2D-col,
col-number | FULLROW, filter-type [, CASE]": string-scalar

Where:
• 2D-row and 2D-col refers to the position of an existing LIST or GRID.
• Col-number is the column to search.
• FULLROW searches all columns.g7

Valid Filter Types:
• LEADING - Filter searching is done left justified using only leading characters (default).
• WORD - Each word is leading matched.
• ALL - The entire string is searched for a match similar to POS

All searching is case insensitive unless CASE is specified. If more than one search value is typed in by the user, separated with one or more spaces, then each of the search arguments must be present in the searched data to avoid exclusion.

For both FILTER and SEARCH the up and down arrows now affect only the selection bar in the grid/list being presented.

A new CONFIG statement is supported:

FILTER_DELIMITERS string-of-special-characters ! a blank separator is assumed

The default filter word delimiters are: \"\\\t\r\n,.;:(){}[]!@#$%^&*-_=+/?|`~<>
