Hi all,

This is nothing most of you would be interested in. This post only show steps about how to display text in multiple lines from Navision Code.

If you don't know this, then please go ahead.

The intended readers for this post are the Peoples who have recently joined and are still Learning NAV.




So Like in Programming Language C & C++ the the New Line Character used is \n.

IN Navision the New Line Character is \ . So if your text string at some point have the \ and you are displaying that in a message / error you will find the output as a New Line for the text written after \.

Let's see a Sample -

I have a Codeunit with following code as shown in below image.


When i run this i get output something like -


Let's try to use it with error, but this time with two text variables, as shown below.


And my Output is -


So we now know that the New Line character in Navision is \.
