I agree with Axton...you are likely looking for parseQualification, not decode http://arswiki.org/dist/ars/docs/ARS/7.1/com/bmc/arsys/api/ARServerUser.html #parseQualification(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)
_____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Lyle Taylor Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 11:30 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Java API Question ** Hi All, I'm trying to get started using the Java API and am running into something I don't understand. I have the following code that simply queries CMT:People for everybody that has Unrestricted Access: ARServerUser srv = new ARServerUser(<user>, <password>, null, <server>, <port>); try { srv.login(); int fields[] = {1, 4}; OutputInteger nMatches = new OutputInteger(); List<Entry> entries = srv.getListEntryObjects("CTM:People", srv.decodeQualification("'Unrestricted Access' != $NULL$"), 0, 0, null, fields, false, nMatches); if ( nMatches.intValue() > 0 ) { for (Entry entry : entries) { String id = entry.getEntryId(); String str = entry.toString(); } } } catch (ARException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } The code compiles fine and runs but throws an exception when it tries to decode the qualification string. I get the following error: ERROR (402): Incorrect format in the definition file; (missing cond op -- 'Unrestricted Access' != $NULL$) If I understand correctly, the qualification shouldn't need a conditional operator, a relational operator should be just fine. If I remove the qualification and simply pass null, it works without any errors. Has anyone seen this error before and have an idea of what I might be doing wrong or missing? Let me know if I need to provide more information.
