Description

The QUERY WITH ARRAY command searches all the records for which the value of targetField is equal, at least, to one of the values of the elements in array. The records found will become the new current selection.

This command allows you to quickly and simply build a search on multiple values.

targetField and array must be of the same data type. Exception: you can use a Longint array with a field of the Time type.

The following example allows you to retrieve the records of both French and American clients:

 ARRAY STRING(2;SearchArray;2)

 SearchArray{1}:="FR"

 SearchArray{2}:="US"
