Forcing delays in Navision C/AL

m.pacana

I currently have function in my code that makes the Navision application not respond and hangs up. But when I place a messagebox for every iteration inside the REPEAT UNTIL of the form, the execution works fine. Due to this, I guess it needs a certain delay on processing to make it work properly.

Does navision has other way to force some delays on the processing, other than using message boxes? :whistle:

Well, you could use the sleep command, which you can see in the online help, but it seems kind of strange that Navision would require that in most circumstances.

What kind of function? A Dialog Update?

m.pacana

it is function inside a codeunit. It consists of the REPEAT UNTIL code and the hang ups are encountered inside the looping statement if no message box is invoked inside. 8)

It is strange, because Message boxes are showed at the end of the object run or on some points. Not exactly when you call the Message... :-) Only Confirm will stop the code when called. Messages are showed asynchronously...

Be careful with messagesboxes and confirms inside transactions. Those may cause the database to be locked (not the whole database of course ).

kine

Messages can lock the transacion only in pre 3.70B versions and only if they are called in Codeunit which is runned in If statement (if cu.run then...). Else messageboxes are not blocking the transaction... (the messagebox is showed after the transaction is commited...)

DenSter

oh they fixed that? Message boxes are no longer holding up commits?

kine

Yes, exactly, the case when Message blocked the transactions are solved in 3.70B and I assume that in 4.00 too... (may be in 4.00SP1, I do not know, if all correction from 3.70B are in 4.00...)

You learn something every day thanks.

Really? Im learning a lot from this forum thanks. I guess the SLEEP works fine with my function. Thanks! \:D/
