Correct syntax for the "Is In" condition in GI

I cannot seem to work out the correct syntax for using “Is In” in a GI condition. For example [ColumnX] is IN (‘ValueA’, ‘ValueB’, ‘ValueC’).

For ‘Value 1’ in the GI condition tab I have tried:

  • (‘ValueA’, ‘ValueB’, ‘ValueC’)
  • ‘ValueA’, ‘ValueB’, ‘ValueC’
  • “ValueA”, “ValueB”, “ValueC”
  • ValueA, ValueB, ValueC

I have even tried creating a COMBOBOX parameter and assigning that as the Value.

Nothing works, the resultant SQL in the Trace is not want I am expecting and there is nothing returned.

 

Any know what to do?

Hi @MarkOM 

I’ve also tried using ‘Is In’ like that on a few occasions, but have never gotten it to work either.  The only documentation I’ve ever found on it comes from the Generic Inquiry’s built-in help page.  This following comes from the help page under Conditions -> Value 1:

 

 

From what I can tell, it works with workgroups.  I don’t know if it works for other scenarios.

Generally whenever I need to match a field against more than one possible values, I have just used multiple condition lines connected with ‘Or’.

For example:

 

 

Thanks @stephenbologna39 , I have been using the OR conditions in my GIs to get around this. However had hoped there was a better way, there are many use cases for the ‘Is In’ condition, I would hope that one day Acumatica can inform us of the correct way to use it.
