Syntax

DBSETFILTER(<bCondition>, [<cCondition>]) --> NIL

Arguments

<bCondition> Code block expression for filtered evaluation.

<cCondition> Optional character expression of code block.

Returns

DBSETFILTER() always returns NIL.

Description

This function masks a database so that only those records that meet the condition prescribed by the expression in the code block <bCondition> and literally expressed as <cCondition> are visible. If <cCondition> is not passed to this function,then the DBFILTER() function will return an empty string showing no filter in that work area which in fact,would be not correct.
