Using Flexscript inside {} in SQL query in Table query

Using Flexscript inside { } in Table query is showing error.

The code:

Table.query("SELECT * FROM [Final plan] WHERE [BF01 Press] = { Table("Final plan")[1][BF01 Press] } ORDER BY SortL").cloneTo(Table("P"+m));

Error message: syntax error, unexpected identifier, expecting ')'

Someone suggest how to use it with example.

I know that we can use $1 instead, but I was trying this. Pls, support.

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.0.1

You have to escape the quotation marks around the table name, so they don't interrupt the query string. Quotation marks are also needed around the column name.

Table.query("SELECT * FROM [Final Plan] WHERE [BF01 Press] = { Table(\"Final Plan\")[1][\"BF01 Press\"] } ORDER BY SortL").cloneTo(Table("P"+m));

Hi Thank you.

Actually I'm trying to use variable inside { }, but I'm getting error.

Code:

for(int m = 1; m<=7; m++){

if(m == 4) m = 5;

Table.query("SELECT * FROM [Final plan] WHERE [BF01 Press] = {\"P\" + m } ORDER BY SortL").cloneTo(Table("P"+m));

}

Then the m needs to be outside of the string in order to be concatenated correctly:

"....[BF01 Press]='P"+m+"' ORDER BY...."

Notice you don't need to mark anything as FlexScript here - and you don't need to escape quotation marks as you can use apostrophes to mark the string limits in a SQL statement.

It would be helpful to see (at least an excerpt of) the table you are querying. Do the values in the BF01 Press column actually contain the quotation marks?

In your case you shouldn't need the curled braces at all. Just adding the string together should work.

Table.query("SELECT ... [BF01 Press] = '" + "P" + m + "' ORDER BY SortL")
