  If job scheduling is handled by NAS (navision application server) then error messages will occur in event viewer automatically.

  if you use NAS for sheduling, he writes autom. all errors in Event log.
  If you use a client and you will write data in Event Log u can do this with WSH-Shell. Search the Forum for WSH Shell

  Do you make it right, it works too!

  Because the first parameter is variant, you need to define Variant variable and use it as the first parameter. For details there is the original help for this function:

  i have solved this problem.
  
  
  CREATE(WindowShell);
  WindowShell.CurrentDirectory(ENVIRON('windir') + '\system32\');
  txtCommand := '1';
  IF WindowShell.LogEvent(txtCommand,'hi') THEN
  MESSAGE('sucessful')
  ELSE
  MESSAGE('false');
  
  
  in above code i was using txtCommand := 'Error' instead of txtCommand := '1' .
  
  thank you everybody for your kind support.

  thanx to all.
  problem is solved.
  
  Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Event Viewer.
  Event Viewer Window contains fields Type,Date,Time, Source, Category, Event ID, User, Computer.
  
  But im still seeking to fill fields like Category & Source from Navision.
  currently by default
  Type:Error
  Source: WSH (Windows Shell)
  Category : None
  Event ID: 1
  
  Can i have Source:"MS Navision" & Category:"PDF Print"???

  Best Regards,

  I am using this in a codeunit's TryFunction in Dynamics NAV 2017 to collect some client-side information into a remote server's Event Log and it works:
  

  Name	DataType	Subtype	Length
  lEventLogObject	DotNet	System.Diagnostics.EventLog.'System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'
  pDebugMessage: Text
  
  CLEAR(lEventLogObject);
  lEventLogObject := lEventLogObject.EventLog('Application','remoteserver.companydomain.local','NAVDebugLog');
  lEventLogObject.WriteEntry(pDebugMessage);
