Invalid Store names cause filtering errors

Tech Note: TN0239
Product: OpenEx
Version: All
Date Added: 2007-02-14

Issue

Store names must not start with any of the following characters:

character	description
-	hyphen
=	equal sign
(	open parenthesis
)	close parenthesis
<	less than symbol
>	greater than symbol
!	exclamation point
	a space
0-9	Any numeric characters

In OpenExplorer, this will generate an error message:

• Unable to set cell filter.

• TTank server Error.

• Server Call: SetQueryCondition

• Error:Invalid filter format

With OpenDeveloper TTankX, the following command is none to fail under these conditions:

• SetFilterArray will return 0.

Note

There are likely other filtering type commands that will fail or not work properly.

Solution

Always use letters a-z and A-Z for the first character of Store names.
