Posted on by Rex Lin

I heard that only BC 14 has the txt2al tool. My situation is that, now we use the NAV 2016 W1 and we would like to upgrade to BC 19 on-premises. Is it possible to use the tool txt2al to speed up the customization program transfer from the old NAV 2016 to the latest BC 19.

Thank you

Hi, You can use this tool, but please note that, like its name, it only converts txt files into al files, and manual correction is essential.

Hope this will help.

Thanks.

Hi Rex,

The following documentation explains that the Txt2Al conversion tool (txt2al.exe) is only available with version 14, which is the last version to support C/AL. Use this version no matter what later version you may eventually be upgrading to. The AL objects created by the tool will be compatible with later versions. This conversion tool works with C/AL objects created in Dynamics NAV or BC 14.x :
