ABSTRACT:

The Filter Expression Syntax can be found at the end of the GWObjAPI documentation - see http://developer.novell.com/documentation/gwobjapi/index.html

There is a note indicating that the filter syntax may be restricted for address book searches.

There are only 5 fields that you can filter on using the GroupWise System AddressBook.

The 5 fields are:
Name
First Name
Last Name
E-Mail Address
Department

For example, you could use filters like:
(Name CONTAINS "Smi*")
(<First Name> MATCHES "John")
(<Last Name> CONTAINS "Smi*")
(<E-Mail Address> CONTAINS "*novell*")
(Department CONTAINS "System Test")

Note: Fields with spaces must be wrapped between < > brackets.

Using other address book fields will typically throw an exception.
