Setrange:

Use this function to set a simple filter, such as a single range or a single value, on a field.

Whereas SETFILTER can have various operators like >, <, <> etc. :

Ok.

Lets say you are interested in Customer table’s those record having No. value in between 1000 and 2000 then you can write following:

Customer.SETRANGE(“No.”,1000, 2000); // Rec.SETRANGE(FieldName, LowerRange, UpperRange)

The limitation of SETRANGE is that you can not define the operators here, just linited to minimum and maximum values, whereas in case of SETFILTER you can define various operators.

For example, if you are interested in all values other than 2000 then

Customer.SETFILTER(“No.”,’<>%1’,2000);// all values other than 2000

Customer.SETFILTER(“No.”,’>%1’,2000); //all values greater than 2000

Customer.SETFILTER(“No.”,’<%1’,2000); //all values less than 200

|

<=200 | >500

|

All less than or equal to 200 or greater than 500
