Property Value

Type: Usual
A string representing the current active filter.
Remarks
A string representing the current active filter. If no filter has been set, NULL_STRING is returned. Assigning a string or a code block to DBServer:Filter is equivalent to calling DBSetFilter().
Examples
This example displays the current Filter condition. Also, if you already have an existing filter condition, you might want to retrieve its :Filter value first, then if your new SetFilter() condition fails, you can reset it back to it's prior filter expression:
X#
Copy

 4LOCAL oDBSales AS Sales
 5oDBSales := Sales{}
 6oDBSales:SetFilter(!oDBSales:Deleted)
 7oDBSales:GoTop()        // move pointer to invoke filter
 8? oDBSales:Filter        // !oDBSales:Deleted
