Usage of Filter function

[Former Member]

Dear Sirs,

I have a question about the filter function, I can not seem to find any documentation about it in the help pages. The closes thing about filters is what is found under the BI section in the help pages.

Can anyone point me to such a documentation or explain the prosses, which explains the filter function, and the different between the filters: "filter samples", "filter sample?", "filter sam", "filter and sample", "filter or sample".

My requirement is to remove duplicates when displaying information from BABI_SALESORDER_GETLIST (ECC), as I only want to show one entry for each Sales order document.

Best regards,

Jørgen

Hi Jørgen,

Filter opertion does the following function :

Applies a specific filter to a selected field or fields. For example, you may wish to filter a list of employee names to display only those surnames that begin with a, b, c or d. In this case, your filter could be: *.

Even you can use Distinct operator if you want :

Omits records that contain duplicate data in the selected fields. For example, if Ben Smith, John Smith and Ralph Smith are listed in a New Customers table, and the Surname field is defined as Distinct, Ben Smith will be taken as the only record of the three

Hi,

that link is not working for me.

I cannot find any documentation about the filter function either (besides in the BI docu).

My purpose is to pass over a date variable from the form to the filter, but I cannot figure out what to do.

I am using a BAPI to retrieve data, and want to filter the result by a date which I specified on the input form for the BAPI.

Thanks,

Dominik
