Developers Toolkit - Expert Strongly Needed

Hello,

I get what to me is a very weird error message. "There is a syntax error on line 5850 in position 3 }. The AL code is not indented as much as the first line".

The background is that I am working on an E-ship upgrade from 29.XX to 51.XX. This is in a 3.70 SQL application. I use Developers Toolkit 1.03. In the example above I have simply accepted the changes suggested by the toolkit to code unit 12. I export it to a text file and then try to import into a local 3.70 DB.

Checking with a numbered editor the error turns out to be in documentation section (in navision text files at the end of the file)

The error also occurs if I modify the object by carefully copying and pasting our code into the object. It mainly happens with code units but also on several forms.

On tables I have a permission problem preventing me from creating create new fields in the new E-ship. The new fields are part of E-ship's new version and in their number range. (We do of course have E-ship included in our license) Has anybody seen that one before???

All help and suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thank you,
Ole

    Start with the new E-Ship object (in Object Designer - not text) and move your customizations into it.
    There are no bugs - only undocumented features.

    One of the reasons I do my merging manually, and that's all I have to say about that.

    I agree, you don't want to upgrade e-ship, that's much more intrusive and a lot more work than doing your customizations in an out-of-the-box new eship database.

    Thank you Black Tiger :-)

    Your suggestion / information has been so far the most constructive. I will review the documentaion section in errorous objects.

    The developers toolkit and an upgrade procedure is what I have to go with so it doesn't help me much telling me what not to use but thanks to you other guys anyway :-)

    Best regards,
    Ole

    Why are you tied into this process?
