Parse method (NotesDominoQuery - LotusScript)

Parses a DQL query string for correct syntax.

Defined in

NotesDominoQuery

Syntax

Set parsestring = NotesDominoQuery.Parse(Query$)

Parameters

Query$

String. A query in DQL syntax.

Return value

String

The error messages produced by a malformed query are self-explanatory.

Example

Dim Query$ as String
Dim ParseString as String
Dim NotesDatabase db
Dim TheQuery As NotesDominoQuery
Set db = Session.Getdatabase("my.nsf")
Set TheQuery = db.Createdominoquery()
Set Query$ = "firstname != 'Annabelle' and lastname = 'Stevens and 'Personview'.dept = 'Sales'"
Set ParseString = TheQuery.Explain(Query$)

In this case the != operator is an error and the single quotes beginning 'Stevens are not closed.
