C/AL symbol menu other than created in global or local

mark_christs · 2006-06-02

Dear All,
I would like to ask you about C/AL symbol menu especially the functions of these following words listed there (in uppercase):
1.SYSTEM
2.FILE
3.TRANSACTIONTYPE
4. DIALOG
5. ACTION
6. CODEUNIT
7. FORM
8. DATABASE
8. REPORT
9. DATAPORT
10.XMLPORT

I see them in the menu when I want to create a report, design a table, design form or or design CU, the others in the menu can be created from C/AL global or C/Al local, but the 10 menus are confusing to me.
Could you pls let me know them more specifally in practice rather than in F1-help ?
your answers are really welcome and expected.

Rgds,
Mark

These you can use to access other objects in navision or to access system or file functions.

It would be a huge job to provide info about all functions, that would be rewiriting navision help.

Do you have a specific function that you need explanation for?

Hi,
Tks for your answers. I think I will have to know the manual tells them in detail, but if it is possible could you tell me in short definition only, you don't have to in detail. it is exciting to know generally first then step into the detail.

Rgds,
Mark

Hi,
tks, It's really wonderful of explanation

, but

too shorts. nevertheless, it is useful, but could you tell me their functions but only in short explanation, e.g. 1. SYSTEM : used when you create a certain coding to define calculation either table, CU or report bla..bla..bla....

Maybe it can be more more interesting before step into complicated codings..

Rgds,
Johnson

P.S.
Sorry Mark, I just want to join because Mark Brummel seems explain them but just for fun...tks. no good for me to see it

Guys, making a description of every function in the system section is realy undoable. There is online help for this!

If the online help is not sufficient for one of the functions, post this function.

The SYSTEM menu devides into about 100 subfunctions.

Yes, I am willing to provide support on every subject I know of for free; But I refuse to rewrite Navision help [-X

Best way is : go on each of the functions and hit F1. Navision help will give you a description of the function.
