How can pass Record Variable using Webservices ?

SHIV_DYN

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to pass a Record Variable using Webservices(Ex: From Web page to Navision) ?
Could anyone help me out, by providing the related documents or website URL’s.

Hi

I also tried this. The web reference gives you an error that the parameter is incorrect.

So the next best thing is to pass the primary key values and do a GET in NAV.
If you modified the record, be sure to do .UPDATE(..) before calling your function in NAV.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Ewald

Hi Ewald,
Thanks for your replay. I am doing the same thing (passing the primary key values). But here my doubt is why can’t we send record variable as a parameter?

As I understand, the issue is with returning complex data types - which is not even possible within NAV. Why you can't pass it as a parameter by reference to a function from the web side escapes me.

There are however ways to get around it (although I did not have time to try it out as of yet) as described in Implementing Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 by David Roys , Vjekoslav Babić

you can pass by value record variable, if you publish the codeunit as same name as pages.

I just tried it, got the following error:

pRecCustomer of the type INavRecordHandle in method TestPassRec in service Customer is invalid!

The Page and the codeunit have the same table and not passed by ref?
