Codeunit 230: global variable and parameter called LastGenJnlLine

emeriksp

Hi all,

In codeunit 230 GenJnlManagement, there is a global variable called LastGenJnlLine, and in the function CalcBalance, there is also a parameter called LastGenJnlLine.

How does that work? In the scope of the CalcBalance function, does the name LastGenJnlLine refer to the global variable or the local parameter?

LastGenJnlLine in CalcBalance function refers to the local parameter.

yes, local parameter only

Thanks.
I would normally think that best practice would be NOT to call local and a global variables the same thing. Don't you agree, or are there some special scenarios, where this practice actually makes good sense?

I will also not suggest to use same names. you will find very rare cases like these in standard NAV also.
