So how should I introduce this guy to you? I had never heard of Gary untill almost 2 years ago when the PRS initiative introduced itself on the NAV Techdays in Antwerp. The small and clear voiced guy next two those two lowlands "Giants", Eric and Mark. Had never come…
Some years ago I wrote a series on validating data in NAV. The second post in this row, called Validating Data #2: Using VALIDATE, addressed the use of the AL function VALIDATE. From recent experience I would like to update some part of this post as this seems missing in any documentation on…
Recent work with a group of NAV pros had set my mind on writing a blog post on assigning a key group to a secondary key. Apparently, for most of them, key groups wasn’t a known concept. However, some searching on the internet showed me enough straight forward posts, that clearly…
Each time I am involved in some way with a Dynamics NAV partner with respect to Help for their add-on, inevitably the issue of wanting to have their help on-line pops up. There are many things to be said about this which I am not going to address in this…
Now that MS is enforcing CfMD on partners more and more, we all are faced with the requirement to build a help system, that goes with your add-on, more and more. Hence many of you have been working on creating a HTML help project (or even multiple) as described and…
Recently I had to make sure that captions for both ENU and NLD were present throughout our solution. A job I have being doing many times over the past years and wrote some post about (you will find some here). One of the last tasks in this process deals with…
Contrary to the other run-able CSIDE objects – i.e. Page, Report and XMLport – we can run a Codeunit and catch the result from this execution: TRUE or FALSE Syntax: [Ok :=] Codeunit.RUN(Number[, Record]) So if we call CODEUNIT.RUN and request a return value, as illustrated by the two first…
All good things come in threes, as they say. So here is 3. Codeunit 50000:OnRun()ShipMethod.INIT;ShipMethod.INSERT;ShipMethod.INSERT; // This duplicate statement has been put here intentionally Codeunit 50001:OnRun()IF CODEUNIT.RUN(50000) THEN MESSAGE(‘OK’)ELSE MESSAGE(‘LASTERRORTEXT: %1’, GETLASTERRORTEXT); First “from the bare head”, but test it in NAV! Both in classic and RTC. For the latter: easiest:…
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:…
One of those multiple choice questions I pose to my students at the start of each day during a Solution Development training. What would be the right answer? Of course you’re free to test it in NAV, but first give it a try “from the bare head”. Given: Codeunit 50000:OnRun()ERROR(‘Internal…
