Hi,

For all people who want clean programming but do not want to put in loads of text

If you compile

Form.runmodal(form::form1)

OR

Form.runmodal(form::"1")

It will generate

Form.runmodal(form::"Company Information")

Same goes for reports and dataports etc.

Optionstrings:

SalesLine.Type := SalesLine.Type::"2";

Makes

SalesLine.Type := SalesLine.Type::Item;

After compiling

Thanks to Alain Krikilion for the form::"1" tip

You can also type

Cust.Field1;

Compiler makes:

Cust."No.";

You forgot my "1"-tip. It also works for fields.

or also

Cust."1"

If you have a field called "Table No." in your table and you want to check the value, many people use

CASE Rec."Table No." OF
  36: [...]
  37: [...]
  38: [...]
  39: [...]
END;

It is better to write

CASE Rec."Table No." OF
  DATABASE::"Sales Header":    [...]
  DATABASE::"Sales Line":      [...]
  DATABASE::"Purchase Header": [...]
  DATABASE::"Purchase Line":   [...]
END;

This also works with the trick

CASE Rec."Table No." OF
  DATABASE::"36": [...]
  DATABASE::"37": [...]
  DATABASE::"38": [...]
  DATABASE::"39": [...]
END;

The compiler converts it into the correct code.

You can do this also with Option Fields:

Optionfield = Salesperson/Team,Class,Main Group,Material Group,Info Group,Item

VarOpt := Optionfield::S;
VarOpt := Optionfield::c;
VarOpt := Optionfield::"Mai";
VarOpt := Optionfield::"Mat";
VarOpt := Optionfield::"in";
VarOpt := Optionfield::"it";
