Code changes

Note Always test code fixes in a controlled environment before you apply the fixes to your production computers.
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

1. Change the code in the SetCommonFilters function in the "Liq. Analysis by Dimensions" form (5055285) as follows: 
   Existing code

   ...
   SETFILTER("Liquidity No.",LiquidityFilter);
   IF LiqAccFilter <> '' THEN
   SETFILTER("Liquidity Account No.",LiqAccFilter);
   // dach0002.begin
   // SETFILTER("Liquidity Date",DateFilter2);
   
   // Delete the following lines.
   IF DateFilter = '' THEN
   SETFILTER("Liquidity Date",DateFilter);
   // End of the lines.
   
   // dach0002.end
   IF Dim1Filter <> '' THEN
   SETFILTER("Dimension 1 Value Code",Dim1Filter);
   IF Dim2Filter <> '' THEN
   SETFILTER("Dimension 2 Value Code",Dim2Filter);
   ...

   Replacement code

   ...
   SETFILTER("Liquidity No.",LiquidityFilter);
   IF LiqAccFilter <> '' THEN
   SETFILTER("Liquidity Account No.",LiqAccFilter);
   // dach0002.begin
   // SETFILTER("Liquidity Date",DateFilter2);
   
   // Add the following lines.
   IF DateFilter = '' THEN
   SETFILTER("Liquidity Date",DateFilter);
   // End of the lines.
   
   // dach0002.end
   IF Dim1Filter <> '' THEN
   SETFILTER("Dimension 1 Value Code",Dim1Filter);
   IF Dim2Filter <> '' THEN
   SETFILTER("Dimension 2 Value Code",Dim2Filter);
   ...

2. Change the code in the CreateFile function in the Export Liquidity Analysis View codeunit (5055267) as follows:
   Existing code 1

   ...
   Line[1] := CONVERTSTR(Line[1],CharsNavision,CharsWindows);
   TextFile.WRITE(Line[1]);
   StartDate := "Liquidity Date";
   IF (DateFilter <> '') THEN BEGIN
   MaxDate := GETRANGEMAX("Liquidity Date");
   
   // Delete the following line.
   SETFILTER("Liquidity Date",'<=%1',MaxDate);
   
   END;
   SETFILTER("Liquidity No.",LiquidityFilter);
   IF FIND('-') THEN
   REPEAT
   IF ("Liquidity Date" = NORMALDATE("Liquidity Date")) THEN BEGIN
   ...

   Replacement code 1

   ...
   Line[1] := CONVERTSTR(Line[1],CharsNavision,CharsWindows);
   TextFile.WRITE(Line[1]);
   StartDate := "Liquidity Date";
   IF (DateFilter <> '') THEN BEGIN
   MaxDate := GETRANGEMAX("Liquidity Date");
   
   // Add the following line.
   SETFILTER("Liquidity Date",'%1..%2',GETRANGEMIN("Liquidity Date"),MaxDate);
   
   END;
   SETFILTER("Liquidity No.",LiquidityFilter);
   IF FIND('-') THEN
   REPEAT
   IF ("Liquidity Date" = NORMALDATE("Liquidity Date")) THEN BEGIN
   ...

   Existing code 2

   ...
   CharsNavision,CharsWindows);
   TextFile.WRITE(Tab + Tab + Tab + Tab + Line[1] + Line2);
   END;
   UNTIL TempDimValue2.NEXT = 0;
   END;
   
   // Delete the following lines.
   WeekNo := DATE2DWY(StartDate,2);
   Year := DATE2DWY(StartDate,3);
   StartDate := DWY2DATE(1,WeekNo,Year);
   // End of the lines.
   
   Line2 := '';
   FOR i := 1 TO NoOfColumns DO
   Line2 := Line2 + Tab;
   
   WHILE StartDate <= EndDate DO BEGIN
   ...

   Replacement code 2

   ...
   CharsNavision,CharsWindows);
   TextFile.WRITE(Tab + Tab + Tab + Tab + Line[1] + Line2);
   END;
   UNTIL TempDimValue2.NEXT = 0;
   END;
   
   // Add the following lines.
   WeekNo := DATE2DMY(StartDate,2);
   Year := DATE2DMY(StartDate,3);
   StartDate := DMY2DATE(1,WeekNo,Year);
   // End of the lines.
   
   Line2 := '';
   FOR i := 1 TO NoOfColumns DO
   Line2 := Line2 + Tab;
   
   WHILE StartDate <= EndDate DO BEGIN
   ...

Note This resolution is valid for all the versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 Service Pack 1 that contain the Liquidity module.
