Has anyone tried to give the user the ability to paste data (separated by comma) in text box to produce a report?

We have an inspection tool that our underwriters use to setup inspections and it allows them to pull down data based on a County they select. Problem is, they may not want all the data for that county so they asked for a text box where they could paste in policy numbers allowing them to only inspect those polices entered. This used to work fine in 7.6.10 with the below code but WF8.1.0.5m does not like it. Anyone know a work around? I tried a -READ but it only list the first policy.

DEFINE FILE UW_PASTED_INDEXKEYS
INDEXKEY/A15=TRIM('T', INDEXKEY, 15, ' ', 1, 'A15');
END
TABLE FILE UW_PASTED_INDEXKEYS
SUM
     INDEXKEY
BY   INDEXKEY NOPRINT
ON TABLE HOLD AS PASTKEYS FORMAT ALPHA
END
 
TABLE FILE &USER_NH_TABLE
  PRINT WF_INDEX
  BY INDEXKEY
WHERE INDEXKEY CONTAINS (PASTKEYS);
ON TABLE HOLD AS UW_NH_POLICES_TO_INSPECT_LOAD FORMAT FOCUS INDEX WF_INDEX
END
  

Thanks

I doubt that it work in 7.6.10 using a CONTAINS since CONTAINS is looking for a string patern that exist in a field, not a field that may be equal to several values.

Try this

DEFINE FILE UW_PASTED_INDEXKEYS
INDEXKEY/A15=TRIM('T', INDEXKEY, 15, ' ', 1, 'A15');
END
TABLE FILE UW_PASTED_INDEXKEYS
SUM INDEXKEY
BY  INDEXKEY NOPRINT
ON TABLE HOLD AS PASTKEYS FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN
 
TABLE FILE &USER_NH_TABLE
PRINT WF_INDEX
BY INDEXKEY
WHERE INDEXKEY IN FILE PASTKEYS;
ON TABLE HOLD AS UW_NH_POLICES_TO_INSPECT_LOAD FORMAT FOCUS INDEX WF_INDEX
END
-RUN

Thanks MartinY that work!
