applyFilter

Procedure that applies filter criteria to the filter-target.

Location: filter.p

Parameters: None

Notes:

The procedure parses the dynamic filter fields and builds a list of fields, operators and values to pass to the query. The fields are only added to the list if the field or the operator is MODIFIED. (A better mechanism to identify values that need to be added to the query might become necessary). If columnQuerySelection returns any criteria for the field with an operator that is not in the list to add, it is added to a list of fields and operators to remove from the query.
The operator for the field is:
In a separate widget (combo-box or radio-set).
If wild card is in the value use MATCHES or BEGINS.
GE and LE if there is a range field with a second value.
First blank separated entry in the field if OperatorStyle is set to inline.
Implicit, specified by the Operator property.
