Exclude value range with setFilterExt() - What is the correct syntax?

Hi all,

I am struggling with an exclusive filter on a value range using setFilterExt() method. I have a BO Design Studio 1.3 (I think SP2) application, using SAP BW datasources (BEx Query).

I use the following syntax:

DS_1.setFilterExt("C_KNRVB1__C_WWVRT", "!R35_150/19980470 - R35_150/19999999");

The application throws an error message, saying that the format of the entered filter value is not correct. If I use for instance

DS_1.setFilterExt("C_KNRVB1__C_WWVRT", "!R35_150/19980470");

for the exclusion of a single value, this works fine.

Characteristic C_WWVRT is actually compounded to 0LOGSYS (= source system) and R35_150 is a valid value for one of our source systems.

Also, if I enter

DS_1.setFilterExt("C_KNRVB1__C_WWVRT", "R35_150/19980470 - R35_150/19999999");

without the "!" sign, the application throws the error message for an incorrect format.

If I enter an exclusive filter for a non-compounded characteristic like this:

DS_1.setFilterExt("C_WWSTE", "!0470 - 0550");

this works fine.

So I assume, it has something to do with the compounding. Well, the 0LOGSYS is a 10 CHAR characteristic with ALPHA conversion... maybe I should try out some blanks before/after or some leading or trailing zeros... but I doubt that this would help, as the single exclusion with !R35_150/19980470 has worked fine...

Any help on that very much appreciated...

Best regards,

Philipp
