Return value Warning, what do you think

Johannes_Nielsen

Hi all

Something I don't get.

When compiling a page in NAV 2013 I receive a warning.

Warning <Action22> - OnAction Line 2 Property call without using return value

SomeRec.MARKEDONLY;

Why is this code elligble for a warning? The return value is optional.

It's not bad practice as far as I know.

It is just a warning, but I still think it should'nt be even that.

And the next wierd thing is, that this code:

SomeRec.MARKEDONLY = TRUE;
SomeRec.MARKEDONLY(TRUE);

Does not produce any warning regarding return value.

What do you think?

SomeRec.MARKEDONLY

Implies that you want to know what the current value is.

SomeRec.MARKEDONLY := TRUE;
SomeRec.MARKEDONLY(TRUE);

Implies that you want to set the value.


When wanting to know the current value, the need for the return value seems legit to me.
