Visual LANSA Forum

So, I am new to LANSA. I have a filter and instance list. When I type in a value in the filter (Item # in my case), only 1 entry is shown in the insance list (an exact match), but what I want is basically all records that contain the value I entered. So we have items D10, D1007A, D1089 (and way more), I'd like all those in the example to be in the instance list. Entered value D10

I don't see a way the code does any do while or do until type logic. It's just a Select_sql command with an add_entry to LIst command after it.

#ServerSystemManager.uMakeWhereString UWHERE(#WhereClause) ULONGNAME(IMITNO) USHORTNAME(IMITNO) UTYPE(ALPHA) UOPERATOR(EQ) UCOMPAREVALUE(#IMITNO) UVALID(#Valid) UIGNORECASE(True)

then
SELECT_SQL FIELDS(#IMITNO #IMDESC #WK_Itno) FROM_FILES((IMR)) WHERE(#WhereClause)
ADD_ENTRY TO_LIST(#InstanceList_Columns)

Maybe the UOPERATOR value of EQ is not right? No idea how to find the valid value though.

Your whereclause needs to be correct. It probably has somefield = somevalue, it should be somefield like somevalue%.

Does the VLF have an option that you check to tell it to select greater than equal or generic?

Thanks, yes VLF has that option, and I missed that originally. I changed the source to CONTAINS from EQ, it didn't work, but then I cleared cache and for some odd reason it was good to go.
