mutivalue date field search not working - xpages

I have a multivalue field called freeDaysPool which has multiple dates as strings. With the following code, the search does not return anything. If I leave that field out, the search works just fine with the two other fields. I read that I should use CONTAINS with multivalue fields but then I got query not understandable.
I've tried the back-end field as a date field and as a text field and tested all kinds of query combinations and date formats but no luck. Any help is really appreciated.
This is the search button code:
var query = new Array("");
var cTerms = 0;
// Field 1
var search01 = getComponent("searchcustomReservationField01").getValue();
if (#Contains(#Text(search01),"any city")){"";}
else {query[cTerms++] = '[customReservationField01]="' + search01 +'"'};
// Field 2
var search02 = getComponent("searchcustomReservationField02").getValue();
if (#Contains(#Text(search02),"any city")){"";}
else {query[cTerms++] = '[customReservationField02]="' + search02 + '"'};
// Date 1
var formatter = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("d.M.yyyy");
query[cTerms++] = 'FIELD freeDaysPool = ' + formatter.format(getComponent("searchcustomDateField01").getValue());
// if query is still empty, we fill it with asterisk
if(query == "" || query == null){
query[cTerms++] = "*";
}
// make all as string
qstring = query.join(" AND ").trim();
sessionScope.searchString = qstring;
It will return query as:
[customReservationField01]="Oslo" AND [customReservationField02]="Oslo" AND FIELD freeDaysPool = 6.2.2015

AFAIK date values in formulas (and a query is a formula) have to be noted like
[06.02.2015]
to compare them. Just try to use your formular in the Notes Client to do a fulltext search. If you get results and no errors you found the correct format. That's at least the way I test queries as I'm not able to remind the syntax for years :-D

Thank you for all the help! Seems that Domino keeps the field type as date field even if you change it back to text field (noticed that from the notes FTsearch). I created completely new text field and added the days as strings in dd.MM.yyyy format. I also search them as strings and it works fine.
The changed code bit now looks like this:
// Date 1
var formatter = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
query[cTerms++] = '[freeDays] CONTAINS "' + formatter.format(getComponent("searchcustomDateField01").getValue())+'"';

Unable to retrieve custom list value from saved search in netsuite

Creating saved search in suitescript using nlapiSearchRecord. All the column value returns except one column which is type is custom list.
How could I get value of custom list?
To get the value I'm using code lines below.
columns[0] = new nlobjSearchColumn( 'customlist' );
var searchresults = nlapiSearchRecord( 'customrecord', null, filters, columns );
To get the column value
var listValue = searchresult.getListValue( 'customlist' );
I assume you've simplified your code in trying to be clear or confidential but there will never be fields or records with those ids.
from a search you would do:
var searchResult = searchResults[0];
searchResult.getValue(fieldId, joinName, summary)
// or in your case
searchResult.getValue('customlist'); //returns id of list value or simple result of non-list/record fields
or (and I think this is the one you want)
searchResult.getText('customlist'); // returns the display value of the list/record field.

Xpages SSJS Time part of NotesDateTime does not return its real value

One of my date/Time filed value always return with 12:00:00. I have the same field with another document which always return with the correct value.
I am trying to calculate timeDifferences of these two fields values. Because of this issue calculation always returns wrong. What did i miss?
var hdt1:NotesDateTime = doc.getItemValueDateTimeArray("Tarih").elementAt(0);
var hdt2:NotesDateTime = hhDoc.getItemValueDateTimeArray("Tarih").elementAt(0);
var frk:int=0;
print(hdt1);print(hdt2);print("------------------");
frk = hdt2.timeDifference(hdt1);
doc.getFirstItem("Tarih").getDateTimeValue()

Checking what a value is in SSJS

I have this block of code in SSJS that I'm doing some field validation stuff:
thisDoc is a NoteXspDocument
fld = the name of a field
var thisValue = thisDoc.getValue(fld);
print("Check Text = " + thisValue);
print("Is is a Date " + (thisValue === Date))
when I run it the log has this:
Check Text = 09/10/15 12:00 PM
Is is a Date false
In this code I do not know what the datatype is of the fld which is a field name. I check the backend document and get the NotesItem.Type() and this field is of type text 1280 in the backend, but the NotesXspDocument has a date. I need to determine what the data type is thisValue sure acts like a NotesDateTime object, but I'm doing something wrong somewhere.
I think the issue might be the difference between a NotesDateTime and a java.util.Date but they drive me up the wall.
Further Edit --
The problem is that I have an Array of field names var Fields:Array that I then loop through and get fld = Fields[n] so when I get the value of the field it could be anything Text, Date, Number so when I do var thisValue = thisDoc.getValue(fld) or thisDoc.getItemValue(fld) I need to figure out what kind of value I have. I guess I could put the getItem..... inside a try until I find one that works but that seems like a less than optimum solution.
Try instanceof Date.class. What you've got is not checking the data type of thisValue against the underlying class, instead it's checking the object itself.
Because the field that I am retrieving can be just about anything I use
var thisValue = thisdoc.getValue(fld);
i had a lot of trouble then determining what kind of data I had. It could be a null Date/Number/String So the first thing I did was find out what the backend data type was:
var thisItem:NotesItem = thisDoc.getDocument().getFirstItem(fld);
var type:Integer = thisItem.getType()
This helps somewhat if the field has been previously set, but if it is a new document or the field has not received a value yet it will be type 1280 or text and probably null.
So my fisrt test is for null or "". then it becomes a bit tougher because I need to test for some values. In all my comboboxs I add the text "--- Select ?????" as the first item in the list so I tried to get a substring of "---" but because of variance in the datatype I needed to put that in a try:
try{
if (thisValue.substring(0,3) == "---"){
print("have null Prefix");
rtn = false;
errMsg.push("The field " + fld + " is a Required Field please enter a value");
break;
}catch(e){ etc
I then wrapped the various other datatype tests in trys and now I have it working.
Might be a better way but this works.
Use .getItemValue() to return a vector array, then test the data type. You can also try .getItemValueString() to return a text string or .getItemValueDate() or .getItemValueDateTime() to return date/time.
Since getItemValue() returns an array, use subscript to get the first element:
var thisValue = thisDoc.getItemValue(fld);
var thisIsDate = (thisValue[0] instanceof Date);
print("Check Text = " + thisValue[0]);
print("Is this a Date ? " + thisIsDate;

Using string in place of property name (LINQ)

I have been able to get the values from tables using linq.
var q=(from app in context.Applicant
where app.ApplicantName=="")
Now what I want is this:
var q=(from app in context.Applicant
where app.stringIhave =="") // so instead of column name I have string which has same name as column.
Is it possible to specify string in Select as this is not sure what I will get in each case, I need different data all the time.
Is it possible to do so?
If no, then I will figure out something else.
Update
I have a GlobalString, which holds the column name of a table.
So when I query that table, I only specify from string which column value I want to get:
var q=(from app in context.Applicants
where app.ID==1013
select GlobalString //which is specifying that I want to get value from which column, as column name is not fixed.
//where GlobalString can have values like: app.FirstName..app.LastName etc
Update1:
var q = context.Applicants.Select("new(it.ApplicantFirstName as FirstName, it.ApplicantLastName as LastName)");
Error Message:
The query syntax is not valid. Near keyword 'AS'
You can use Dynamic Linq (available from NuGet) for that:
var q = context.Applicant.Where(app.stringIhave + " = #0", "");
for select you can try something like this
var q = context.Applicant.Select("new(it.FirstName as FirstName, it.LastName as LastName)");
so you only need construct string for that format

How to use #DbLookups in different database

Ok this seems so silly but I'm having some trouble getting this to work. I want to do an #DbColumn() or #DbLookup() to another database. Same server - BUT it's in a folder. And I can't get a result. The view of the database in question is sorted by the first column.
I'm trying to populate choices of a combobox.
I've tried that built in #DbColumn():
var dbname = new Array("", "myfolder\\myDB.nsf");
return #DbColumn(dbname, "byCode", 0)
I've tried that with and without the "double slashes" and with column 0 and also column 1.
I've also tried the XSnippet :
http://openntf.org/XSnippets.nsf/snippet.xsp?id=dblookup-dbcolumn-with-cache-sort-and-unique
That would be my preferred method really because of caching. I tried creating a SSJS function:
function getFacilityList() {
var dbPath = database.getFilePath().split(database.getFileName())[0];
return DbColumnArray("","myfolder\\myDB.nsf","cache", "sort", "byCode", 0)
}
Which I think should have worked but did not.
Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks
Try:
var dbname = session.getServerName() + "!!" + "myfolder\\myDB.nsf";
return #DbColumn(dbname, "byCode", 0)
