Beginning C/AL programming

LeoNav

Hi,

I'm testing a very basic example in C/AL. I'm a beginner in C/AL programming.

I created a global variable called LoopNo (just like the example in the book). I want to display a message dialog window with the value of my global variable.
Here is my complete code :
OnRun() Trigger

LoopNo:=25;
MESSAGE('The value of %1 is %2','LoopNo','LoopNo');

I don't understand why it doesn't display the right message.
Here is the message displayed :

The value of LoopNo is LoopNo.

An idea.

Thanks

Use loopno without ''.

It should be format(loopno)

When you surround text with single quotes it considers that as text, not a variable. So it will display exactly what you have entered between the quotes.

LoopNo is an integer variable that could contain many values.
'LoopNo' is a text value that will also be the same.

There is no need to format arguments as they are of datatype Any.
