Simple DataList Spec

Can someone tell me why this simple data list spec fails to reach catalog pull down window…

@Bruce Boling If you can try without the Translation function tag. And also not sure if the behavior will be correct since it should have a uniqueidentifier and text value

@Syed Mohsin Ali Rizvi
Thanks for the quick reply. Not sure what the translation function is for, I saw examples where it was zeroed out, that is why I did it. I will remove and see if that helps.

Removing translation function statement did not work. Trying to do simple datalist to use on list builder spec as a drop-down list for filter. Nee to remove 2 codes from code table is why I'm doing this.

select
ID as VALUE,
DESCRIPTION as LABEL
from dbo.revenuerecognitiontypecode

This should work

Did not work. I saw examples where both the value and label were set to description. Catalog screen senses something is wrong and keeps this DLL out of drop down. I shut visual studio down and restarted and build DLL again (sometimes works) but it did not. You're the only one trying to help I appreciate it very much. Never had this much trouble with a spec, must be missing a command or something. I don't really know if translation function is needed or not, not sure what it is used for. I can always give up and just hard code the tables values in the list builder spec but I thought this was slicker. Gonna keep trying.

I have an idea I will try this morning. Will let you know.

Finally got the DLL to show in catalog drop down. My error was I copied an existing unused spec, instead of creating a new one in project folder. Just does not work. Thanks for your suggestions.
