GetPossibleCount() != Count of Fields().GetPossibleValues

I'm having a bit of an issue with a macro that I'm writing.  I'm trying to fetch all possible values for a field so that I can loop through them.  There are about 357 values with my current criteria.  When I use the expression GetPossibleCount(), it returns the proper number of values.  However, when I retrieve a list of the values using GetPossibleValues, I only get 100.  Is there a limit to what Qlikview allows to bring back in a Macro? 

Here is the code that I am using to test the differences in a macro:

 

set keys = ActiveDocument.Fields("Ret_Key").GetPossibleValues
msgbox(keys.Count)
msgbox(ActiveDocument.evaluate("=getpossiblecount(Ret_Key)"))

The first dialog returns 100 while the second 357.  It is the same field.  I would have expected the same response.  Is there a document setting that I need to change?

Thanks.

James

The getpossiblevalues function has a default maximum results value of 100. The function takes an optional parameter to specify the maximum results it should return.

Thank you!  I would have never known that.  I guess it is so optional that it isn't in the API documentation.  Thanks again.
