Option field in a message

pirat

hi,

how can i print the the caption of the option field rather than the value, without create a new option variable?

example 1:
i got a field with two options: Order and Invoice

message('The caption is %1',Record.OptionField::Order);

the result is: 0

example 2:
i got a field with two options: Order and Invoice

message('The caption is %1',Format(Record.OptionField::Invoice));

the result is: 1

thanks

I think you just need to make sure that you have a value in the field as opposed to formatting the value of the option.

Try something like this:

RecordObject.FieldName := RecordObject.FieldName::OptionValue;
message('Value of field: %1',format(RecordObject.FieldName));

With an option variable i can do what i want....i thout that it was some simple code to use.
