training material explanation !!!

masqazi

i was going thru the axapta training materials:

Difference between Tables & classes

Fields in tables can be referred to directly, for example in a report.
Variables in a method can only be referred to by returning the values.

here, what does the second line explain?

also, can anybody explain the following:

Methods on different objects can also be called from the same table.

Well i'll try

1. What they try to tell you is that fields (variables in tables) you can address directly table.field = x

When you use variables in classes you can't access them by the same notation : class.variable = x;

You either have to make global variables and call a "parm" methode or send the values along in a parameter to the methode you call from a class.

f.eks.

CustTable.Accountnum = "accountnumber";

opposed to :

SalesFormLetter_Invoice.mayJournalBePosted("salesorder");

The second part i'm no sure...
