  I would say you have to manually do the extension (rename the top to extend the table), so it purely converts to AL.
  
  I just tested with T18 and as expected it didnt create any sort of extension.

  Txt@AL tool will create a *.AL file only, but you have still have to manually check for any errors as file is loaded into the VSC project. I must say that it does save some time as file structure is already created with txt2al, but there is some time required to correct any errors.
  
  command --type defines what is the object type that is going to be created as AL file
  --type-table => creates table extension file
  --type-page => creates page extension file

  Does anyone have an idea if there is a difference within the txt2AL tool across different cumulative updates? More precisely BC14 CU1 and BC14 CU32, for example, is the conversion tool (txt2al) also updated meanwhile?
