Very cool! This does create a few possibilities. Thanx!

kine

I know, it is why I upload it there, I am waiting, that someone create some good tools with it. 8)

Thanks for sharing. You see any chance in reading the C/AL coding as well ? Or C/AL comment lines ?

kine

If I have free time, I can try to "decompile" objects, but...

:idea: That would be a very great feature :!:

i have 28 lines in a table and the process failed.
this is the error, my english is poor

It is not left free space in the memory of the C/AL battery to execute this task. There are too many activities you synchronize, produced by recursivas calls of the program. The problem can be solved temporarily closing some of the open activities (but the function follows without being able to execute)
thanks

kine

I tested with more lines... all is OK...
limit is only DocText variable length (in this example object). In normal use the lines are stored in a table.

How much memory do you have on your computer? Which OS :?:

I tested it on Win XP...

Tested with your Doc. lines - all OK.

Please, send me your object exported from Blob (in test object exported into c:\obj.bin). There can be some problem...

Hi Kine

I have tested this tool and i have found problems if the documentation has
lines like these

Version 1

---

// this line causing problem
Added field 1
Added field 2
or

Version 1.01
========== // this line causing problem
Added field 2
Added code to Ondelete

I think the problem is that they start with te but they don't end with either control char and e.

kine

Sorry for the long response time... ](*,)

I forget that I have no watch for this topic...

The error is repaired in new version of object (1.1) which will be there for download in a short time...

Object Documentation lines v1.1
Functions to get Documentation lines from binary object.

In attached object you can find functions, which get Documentation lines directly from binary object (exported from Object BLOB). You can use this functions to create some versioning tools or autodocumentation.

Marks for finding documentation in binary object I found with comparing some objects.
May be, that it is not exactly, but I did not found case when it will be wrong.

File export was used but Stream can be used too.

Attached object is form 99990 with Object table. You can select some object and use Button "Show documentation" - message with Documentation lines from selected object will be displayed (for example on object Form 99990).

Version 1.1:
Fixed problem with lines like '

---

' etc.
Fixed forgotten link to some table...

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit....

I didn't know objects where saved as blob in the object table. Damn, if only...

Dude, You've earned yourself a 4 star rating at least!

Thanks a million for sharing this brilliant info!

janpieter

haha,

how did you spend your weekend Emiel? Been working on a version management system based on your knew knowledge?

Luc_VanDyck

When the Documentation Trigger contains only "This is a test" (without "), the button "Show Documentation" displays "This is a te".
And when the Documentation Trigger contains only "AAA", the button display an empty messagebox.

I used Navision 4.0, and table 3 for this test.

kine

Ok, I will test it more... problem is to recognize end of the coments, it seems, that last 4bytes are lost sometime...

Luc_VanDyck

Indeed, sometimes it doesn't call the end-of-comments code, so I get an overflow error.

kine

I try to update the objects for better syntax analysis. FB sent me some code that can help... I want to public new version in 2 months...

TheOrb

Hi,

great stuff done here. Any news about updated version of this tool?

Thanks in advance.

kine

Sorry, I had no time to update the objects... :-(
