Filter for reporting between 2 ages

1

Hi
I hope I am clear with my question. I am writing a database program and want to report a report for persons say between 20 years old and 40. I use a filter in the action section but get a report with persons above 40. Can you tell me what i am doing wrong. I am using the expression (chi:chage >= startage) and (chi:chage<=endage). Hope this is clear.

Many Thanks

Usually, I did filter in this case this way: define schematic filter like
startage <= chi:chage <= endage

and then “split” it to be used in Clarion filter:
(startage <= chi:chage) and (chi:chage <= endage)

be sure you fill startage and endage with init values and chi:chage is a number (not date)

OR you can use INRANGE(expression,low,high) function

Thanks so much for your help.

Kind Regards

Also, make sure that startage and endage are bound fields and not in the view (i.e. add them in hot fields and mark them as NotinView and BIND).

I think Clarion will automatically change your <= to <<=, which is necessary for Evaluate, so that should be OK.
