Symptom
DataWindow ‘like’ filter does not work if it is not placed last in the list of filters or within parenthesis. For example, the below script returns -1, which means the ‘like’ filter does not work.
dw_1.setfilter(' facility_name like "com%" and facility_id > 200 ')
Solution
This is old PB bug and can be resolved with either resolution of the below:
1. Put the ‘like’ filter in a parenthesis (recommended) like the below script:
dw_1.setfilter(' (facility_name like "com%" ) and facility_id > 200 ')
2. Place the like’ filter last in the list of filters like the below script:
dw_1.setfilter(' facility_id > 200 and facility_name like "com%" ')
