Hi Saurav,

I believe the value ri!fulldatasubset.data.testName has null value , i.e there are no values in this ri! variable. Please do check on this. Hence using dot notation to index might return the above error.

Thanks,
Abishek

Hi sauravk,

As per my understanding wherecontains() parameters must be of same type .It is not possible to search a different array with an agument of type integer.As text values are case-sensitive,this function is used in finding the items in a array which have thes= same value for a field.So in your case the same reflects i.e, index(ri!fulldatasubset,wherecontains((ri!testName[ri!index],tostring(ri!fulldatasubset.data.testName))).Try with that once.

wherecontains worked with only same data type and in your case first argument is text type while other is dataset type so use tostring() function to cast dataset into text type.

When using wherecontains(), you can only compare data of the same type. My recommendation would be to cast the ri!fulldatasubset.data.testName into type Text using the tostring() function
