Read with me what the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Developer and IT Pro Documentation phrases on BEGIN/END, i.e. compound, statement: In some cases, the C/AL syntax only allows you to use a single statement. If however you have to execute more than one simple statement, the statements can be written…
In my previous post in this series I addressed the first sync with coding standards, i.e. removal of redundant record references. This post is about a small one, but nevertheless a sync with coding standards. Have a look at COD400 (see screen shot). It’s as simple as that. As the…
So in my chat with MS operations on insert rights for our add-on on NAV 2103 it became clear why we didn’t have these insert rights (yet) in our newly configured NAV 2013 development/demo license. Gary Winter’s comment however argues this and I truly hope he’s right, because using…
In C/AL we address fields and methods of record variables using the syntax <Record>.<Field> and <Record>.<Method>. To make coding somewhat simpler and the resulting code leaner, with the goal of being easier to read, C/SIDE – uhh NAV DE now we’re on NAV 2013 – has a couple of ways…
Click on the image to get a full view that’s readable. After more than 10 years working with NAV it’s a bit hard to tell what I like about NAV so much, as this might be polluted by the sheer fact that I am too intertwined with it that I…
No nagging today, but only cheerfulness as I finally did get through one of those Partner/CustomerSource surveys. [^] [Y] Proof, proof, proof! And sure, I took this chance to once more tell elegantly what s.cks the most about PartnerSource, IMHO. But I fear it will be in vain thinking of the first time…
Going from NAV 2009 R2 to Beta we can observe that quite some FIND ('-') and FIND('+') had been replaced by FINDFIRST and FINDLAST and from Beta to RTM almost the same number of replacements. Some additonal math shows us that almost half of all FIND('-')/FIND('+') has been replaced by FINDFIRST/FINDLAST…
You might recall that for NAV 2013 Beta I noted down the objects statistics here. So here is a small update moving from Beta (object date May 9, 2012) to RTM (object date September 7, 2012). In the 4 months between Beta and RTM the NAV team clearly hasn’t been…
Another version of my multiple choice question I posed here. Given: Codeunit 50000:OnRun()Cust.INIT;Cust.INSERT;Cust.INSERT; // This duplicate statement has been put here intentionally Codeunit 50001:OnRun()IF CODEUNIT.RUN(50000) THEN MESSAGE(‘OK’)ELSE MESSAGE(‘LASTERRORTEXT: %1’, GETLASTERRORTEXT); Which error/message will occur when codeunit 50001 is being executed? ‘OK’ ‘LASTERRORTEXT: The Customer already exists. Identification fields and values:…
For those who are already are roaming around in AL code of local versions of NAV 2013 my blog post MS Changelog and Code Markers can be somewhat usefully. Why? Well you might have noticed that in each localized object of NAV 2013 the documentation trigger is populated with an…
