info(strFmt - question

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 18

Hello

In one of our jobs in AX2012 R3, there is this part (when we e.g. cancel a line in a purchase order) with "info(strFmt("%1 - %2", PurchLine.RemainPurchPhysical, PurchLine.RemainInventPhysical)); ".

What does "%1 - %2" mean here?

If there are several fields that you want to correct in the table "Salesline", should you eg write "%1 - %4" etc.?

regards Andreas

    Hi,

    When you use strfmt function then you can pass parameters to the text that would be printed in info.

    In your case, %1 is equal to PurchLine.RemainPurchPhysical and %2 is equal to PurchLine.RemainInventPhysical.

    for more clarification you can use this:

    info(strFmt("RemainPurchPhysical = %1 - RemainInventPhysical=%2", PurchLine.RemainPurchPhysical, PurchLine.RemainInventPhysical)); ".

    BR.

    Hi BCC,

    % in strFmt simply stands as a placeholder for your values(arguments).

    So, you have strFmt (str, values).

    %1 = PurchLine.RemainPurchPhysical

    %2 = PurchLine.RemainInventPhysical

    You could decide to have a 3rd value, say the Recid, then you would have

    %3 = PurchLine.recid

    istrFmt("%1 - %2 %3 ", PurchLine.RemainPurchPhysical, PurchLine.RemainInventPhysical,PurchLine.recid))

    Hi, "%" means correspond to the value of the variables or fields before the commas, see the illustration below;

     pastedimage1662622673835v1.png

    so it means if you want more to be display you just add more "%" with its corresponding values before the commas

    Example:

    var1 = 1

    var2 = 2

    var3 = 3

    var4 = 4

    var5 = 5 

    info(strfrmt("%1 - %2 - %3 - %4 - %5", var1,var2,var3,var4,var5));

    so the displayed info will be 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5
