Did you do this

count = 0
count = count + 1

or this

count := 0
count := count + 1

The latter is the correct way. When assign values to variables you must use the := operator.

The = operator is used for comparisons and returns true or false.

Salesline."Line No" / 10000

TempSalesLine.RESET;
TempSalesLine.SETRANGE(Type,SalesHeader.Type);
TempSalesLine.SETRANGE("Document No.",SalesHeader."No.");
Count:=TempSalesLine.COUNT;

Hi
Change your variable name as count is a reserved word in NAV.

OnPreDataItem
Ser := 0;

OnAfterGetRecord
Ser := Ser + 1;

Hope this helps

COUNT is a reserved word in NAV, you can not use it as a variable name.

If you are in the "Sales Line" section, define a variable NoOfLines, and add the code:

NoOfLines := COUNT;

that's all you need.

the sales line already have a "Line No" field. Now i'm not thinking my post was so crazy.

recordno := Salesline."Line No" / 10000;

OR
On pre dataitem.

recordno := 0;

onaftergetrecord

recordno := recordno + 1;

David's post is about COUNT - like your post title says.
It will give you the total amount of lines but this is not apparently what you are looking for.

Thanks Savatage,

I done already in the down process same as waht u told now.
I defined variable count, data type = int
in sales invoice Line trigger On pre dataitem count =0;
i put in sales invoice on after get record = count=count+1;
when try to save this i am getting error THE RETURN VALUE SHOULD BE USED FOR THIS FUNCTION.
please provide solution how to do this. I am learner in coding . please provide code and solution. Please explain step by step.
can u explain about that line no code . where to write.

thanks in advance

if you read davids' post above...

COUNT is a reserved word in NAV, you can not use it as a variable name.

Have you tried ANY OTHER variable name?

How about myCOUNT

or
Variable name: MyCount (type integer)
onaftergetrecord add
MyCount := Salesline."Line No." / 10000;

that's it. Now make a text box & set the source to MyCount & display it on your report, or whatever you are trying to show it.

thanks savatage,

i tried what u told .
But it is giving error u have specified unknown variable "lineno"
please provide solution.

thanks and regards.

You have to declare LineNo as an integer type variable.

Savatage · 2007-08-10

if you are putting this code on some report using the Sales Invoice Line Table then you don't need to declare it - you just need to type it correctly.
In any programming you can't just assume the program will know what you're trying to do. "Similar" is never "the same"

"Sales Invoice Line"."Line No."

or if you are using the Sales Line Table then it would look like

"Sales Line"."Line No."

In fact if you are putting the code on the same dataitem as the field you usally do not have to add the "Sales Invoice Line" or "Sales Line" part. I did that so not to confuse and to make it a bit clearer about where the data is coming from.

Maybe it's a translation thing but I would stop adding please provide solution at the end of the posts, it just doesn't sound nice, at least to me O:)

Other things to consider...
1) using the "Line No." instead of the MyCount := Mycount + 1 method is assuming your no going to do anything freaky with "Line No." in the future.
2)When you count are you just wanting to count the lines of type "Item". You make no provisions for a blank text line or g/l account, etc.

something you might want to think about

see my first post :whistle:

Dear Lally
Mention the following code in OnAfterGetRecord Trigger

sno := sno + 1;

This code will serve your purpose.
