Error in Version List - NAV 2009 SP1

lvanvugt

A couple of weeks ago I started working on a code review of two of our add-ons. One build on the German (DE) and the other on the Dutch (NL) version of NAV 2009 SP1.

The first step I take in this kind of job is to perform a simple text compare using a tool like Beyond Compare or Araxis. I compare our code with standard NAV; our current code with the previous code; I might even compare standard current NAV with previous.

Doing this for these add-ons I did hit upon a number of standard objects that my tool indicated as changed, but actually weren't. Yes, they were changed, but the only changes were in the object properties Version List and/or Date. So from a code perspective nothing had changed. For sake of ease I'll call them the false positives.

Big deal?
Well, yes and no.
