Passing a string array to a datawindow

[chosensilver]

Hey all,

I have been trying to pass a string array to a datawindow for a couple of days now with no luck. In the data window report I have defined the retrieval argument as a string array. The datawindow has syntax as follows:
select ....
from...
where value in ls_array)

I have a program in powerbuilder that calls this datawindow and I have been trying to pass a list of values with no luck. I have tried passing a single string such as 'ABC', but I get an error that says "Retrieve Argument 1 does nto match expected type". i have tried creating a string array such as:
string ls_array[] = {'ABC', 'DEF'}
dw.Retrieve(ls_array)
But I get the same error message mentioned above. I am running PB 6.5 if that helps at all.

I found the issue. This was a composite report and you can't have a string array at the top level. I had changed the retrieval argument in akll the sub reports but did not think to check the main report. This is not something that was supported until after PB version 9.x if i read correctly.
