You may often need to write a code that performs inexact pattern matching. The use of “PAT” allows you to find data that fits a certain pattern, rather than specifying the code exactly.
New Stuff: Sage Introduces New Enhancements for Sage ERP X3 v6.5 (Patch 27)
Syntax
pat( expr_c, pattern )
Where “expr_c” is an alphanumeric expression defining the string whose compliance is to be tested with the pattern given. And “pattern” is an alphanumeric expression defining the compliance pattern.
PAT is used to check compliance of a character string with a given pattern. This compliance uses the following conventions for the patterns:
- The character ‘*’ represents any number of characters, even null,
- The character ‘?’ represents precisely one character,
- The character ‘#’ represents a digit,
For example,
You may also combine these characters in complex patterns to perform more advanced queries. For example, supposedly you needed to write code for checking whether user is entering proper Email address or not. You could use the following Code:
If not(pat([M:ABC]EMAILID,”*#@*.*”))
Infbox(“Wrong Email address”)
Endif
All the other characters in a pattern must exist in the character string to be checked so that compliance may be recognised.
PAT returns an Integer type result: when the string is compliant, PAT returns 1, otherwise a 0.
