What is the maximum parameters are allowed for a function?

bestianhow

Hi all experts,
Do you know what is the maximum parameters are allowed for a function (NAV2009 Classic)?
I have tried to add up to 50 parameters, it is still allowed me to save & compile.

Thank you.

It depends on a lot of parameters:
-type of parameters
-no. of parameters
-...

I'm not sure. Once there was a limitation on 20 parameters, but I don't know if this is still valid.

I have tried 50 parameters.
all parameters are Text100
:P

What I understand this also depends on the depth of the calling stack...

So directly calling a function with 50 parameters is not a problem, but when function1 calls function2 calls function3 calls TheSame50Pars will not be possible...

Maybe i just manage to save & compile.
I haven't try to calling the function. I will try it later.
Thanks.

Other issues to consider are:
Is the function manageable with that many parameters?
Fifty would generally be considered way, way too many.
Is Another data structure better ?
(a temp table?) (Array?)
Is the function maintainable and understandable?

Just some thoughts.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reply.
ASP .net side pass data thru NAV2009 SP1's web service.
I'm thinking use 1 parameter as 1 field.
Anyway, some friends recommended me to use XML to handle this case.
But i don't know how to coding for XML


Thanks.

best to send a temp table as a record variable as a parameter function. or if all the parameters are of the same datatype, then an array variable as a parameter.
