Hi

  I have created C/Al Global variable Customers Data Type record . SubType G/L Entry. On Request Page i have added this field. In C/Al  properties i have set it temporary as Yes. But when i run i get the below error

The Control Customers(2) has an invalid Data Type Record

Customers - OnLookup(VAR Text : Text) : Boolean
REPEAT
     CustomersTemp.INIT;
      CustomersTemp := "G/L Entry"."Source No.";
      CustomersTemp.INSERT;
  UNTIL "G/L Entry".NEXT = 0;

    Your below statement is incorrect:-

    CustomersTemp := "G/L Entry"."Source No.";

    Correct statement is

    CustomersTemp."No." := "G/L Entry"."Source No.";

    Hi,

    first you are trying to assign a field to record variable
    CustomersTemp := "G/L Entry"."Source No.";
    ==> Change this line to
    CustomersTemp.Code := "G/L Entry"."Source No.";

    Second I guess that in the property SourceExpr of your field in the request page, you only set the record variable

    Here you must specify the field you want to show


    Best regards
    Rainer

    Hi,

    The error means that you cannot add a variable of datatype 'Record' directly on the request page. You should create a variable in C/AL Globals of datatype 'Integer' say 'GLEntryNoVariable'. Now get this variable 'GLEntryNoVariable' on the request page of the report. Navigate to the properties of this variable on the request page of the report and and set the table relation to G/L entry table 17. Now after running the report you will see the request page as below:

    Hi Jsshivalik,

    I think error message gives you the list of accepted data types:

    The control x has an invalid data type Record. The valid data types are: Byte;Integer;Text;Code;Decimal;Option;Boolean;Date;Time;Binary;BLOB;GUID;DateFormula;TextConst;TableFilter;BigInteger;Duration;RecordID;DateTime;BigText;Text;Code;Char;Media;MediaSet.

    If you would like to select from the G/L Entries you should add a variable to store the Entry No. with type Integer and then on the field that you create on the Request Page set the Table Relation in the field properties to "G/L Entry".
