Re : FILTER ON A STRING VARIABLE

Ekoué KOUEVIDJIN
Hello Anthony BRESSY.
If all the terms of the variable does begin with the letters, here's the solution:

COMPUTE ToFilter = (StringVar > 'A').
EXE.
FILTER BY ToFilter.
EXE.

PS. Beware of the SELECT statement. This removes the records are not selected.

Thank you and goodbye.
