Question
Function Alias in Report
Hi!
Is there any way by using a Function Alias to compare the value in a column Source Report with a Valid of List Values, where the user sets the Input Value to use and provide the list of values to compare, like:
WHEN {1} EXISTS IN {2} RETURN TRUE
{1} Value to search in List{2}
I found an article in Pega Community mentioning to use the isinarray function, but I was not able to find it.
I want to create a report that classify a value according to the list in which exists.
Any ideas, please.
Hi Adriana,
The SA article that you have mentioned is for Chordiant product and that function might not be available in Pega 7.x or 8.x
Could you please check if you can use the function alias pxValueIsInPageList.
This function looks for a value in the property of a page list.

Hi Vikash and Ramau, Thank You for the quick response. Here are my thoughts:
If I use the pxValuesInPageList I am only going to be able to validate one specific list of values and I can not use that column as a filter.
Does anyone knows if Pega is capable to manage arrays in function alias as a parameter?
like
CASE WHEN {1} IN {2}
where {1} a value
and {2} list of values
and how to pass the data from a textbox where the user type the values
Thank You for all your help!
Hi,
isinarray
Checks if values or elements in an array are present in the array provided in the second argument. The following expression returns true.
isinarray(450, array(100, 450, 500, 700))
When the first element is an array, this function returns an array of conditions for each value.
isinarray(Products.Product.Name, Products.Catalog.Name)
By combining this function with the logical functions all and any, you can implement the following functionality:
• Check if all elements in the first array (subset) are present in the second array (superset). all(isinarray(Products.Product.Price, Products.Catalog.Price))
• Check if any elements in the first array are in the second array. any(isinarray(Products.Product.Price, Products.Catalog.Price))
