    Is it possible to filter a DME web browser query on a related table?  For example, I want to find all PO lines that have a null PO-USR-FLD-5. 

    https://myhr.sjhsyr.org/s...!=%00&out=csv&DELIM=|&MAX=99999

    When I run the above query, it never ends.  I've even let it run overnight and it doesn't finish.  I don't think it has anything to do with the size of the result set because I've also tried adding a condition to the &select to pull a hardcoded PO-Number.  From all my testing it seems to be directly related to the fact that my &select is referencing a related table.

    Thanks

      "Selects" on a related table has been discussed here before (it think)....   I remember having issues with this in a process flow once and had to do something else to make the DME work.   (I think it is sometimes a hit or miss issue.)  

      You might want to rethink the DME to see if you can write it in another way - Maybe: PURCHORDER as the base table related to the POLINE???

        That was the original idea, but if I use PURCHORDER as the base table, then it doesn't give me all the lines. It only gives me line #1. That's why I switched to POLINE as the base table so that I could get all the line numbers.

          In Process Flow I could help because we could just write an SQL query node...   Not sure how to help with a custom page ...

            I was wondering if queries like in the original post would also work on Lawson 8?
