SETVIEW Function (Record)
Sets the current sort order, key, and filters on a table.
Syntax
Record.SETVIEW(String)
Parameters
Record
Type: Record
The record in the table for which to set the sort order, key, and filters.
String
Type: Text or code
A string that contains the sort order, key, and filter to set.
The string format is the same as the SourceTableView Property on pages.
Remarks
The value of the String parameter can be returned by the GETVIEW Function (Record).
If the SETVIEW function is executed with an empty string, all filters are removed and the primary key is used.
Example
The following code example uses the SETVIEW function to set the sort key to the Name field and the sort order to Ascending, and sets a filter that selects records with the No. field between 1000 and 2000 in the Customer table. The GETVIEW Function (Record) function retrieves the sort order, key, and filters that have been set and stores the value in the ViewString variable. The value in the ViewString variable is then displayed in a message box. This example requires that you create the following variables in the C/AL Globals window.
| Variable name | DataType | Subtype |
|---|---|---|
| CustomerRec | Record | Customer |
| ViewString | Text | Not applicable |
CustomerRec.SETVIEW('SORTING(Name) ORDER(Ascending) WHERE(No.=CONST(10000..20000))');
ViewString := CustomerRec.GETVIEW;
MESSAGE('The string:%1', ViewString)
