Hi,

I'm doing an upgrade to NAV 2013 R2. Formely we used Notepad for inserting large text lines.
And stored these text in normal comment lines.
Now I want a new solution. Looked into the following post, but dialog-window does not work anymore.

I've created a new solution.
In NAV 2013 it's possible to declare a global Text without Length.
I created a new page with 1 field, multiline and sourceexpr a Text-global without Length.
Created a SetDate and GetData on this page.

From the Sales Quote Subform I've created a function to input text easily in the new page. Data is stored in Sales Comment Line and before running the new page a function ComposeText is called which puts all comment lines in 1 box.
When closing the new page, a function DecomposeText is used to split out the text over the comment lines.

Works for me. :D
Now going to improve the functionality and making it usable for other modules.

    You are not wrong. But having 2,147,483,647 characters at your disposal (about 2GB) makes it quite lengthy :*
