TAMdbfr

[JohnGage]

Does anyone know how to filter a set of results in TAMdbfr?  It's more of a learning exercise rather than a true problem but I would like to add a department code to an activity already in the system.  I can perform the find in TAMdbfr to retrieve all activities for a specific client but I would like to further filter it down to only those w/o a department code rather than having to page down through the entire found set.

Tried what seemed like obvious boolean strings but no luck.

An example of setting a filter from an Applied Support chat transcript (for editing recurring/saved J/E's; bold/italic are my notes after the fact):

Heidi Vaseloff 14:43:44 CDT> Open a dos window
Heidi Vaseloff 14:43:51 CDT> go to the TAM drive
Billy Welsh 14:43:31 CDT> OK
Heidi Vaseloff 14:44:12 CDT> cd\wintam
Heidi Vaseloff 14:44:14 CDT> tamdbfr
Heidi Vaseloff 14:44:18 CDT> log in (TAM credentials)
Heidi Vaseloff 14:44:21 CDT> use defaults
Heidi Vaseloff 14:44:24 CDT> set read off
Heidi Vaseloff 14:44:37 CDT> set filter payee="{j/e name at issue}"
Heidi Vaseloff 14:44:43 CDT> brow
Heidi Vaseloff 14:45:01 CDT> arrow to 1st problem line in the list (each line needs a unique ref #)
Heidi Vaseloff 14:45:07 CDT> esc
Heidi Vaseloff 14:45:12 CDT> edit (enter)
Heidi Vaseloff 14:45:28 CDT> I need you to arrow down to the ref field
Billy Welsh 14:45:37 CDT> I am there
Heidi Vaseloff 14:46:27 CDT> arrow over to the # in the field and
type a unique # in place of the repeated #
Billy Welsh 14:46:20 CDT> Done
Heidi Vaseloff 14:46:58 CDT> F10 to save the change
Heidi Vaseloff 14:47:21 CDT> then close the tamdbfr window and try the j/e
again

Can also do that with report on Activity, set the extra criteria to branch being null.
