Hi Friends,

This is very trival question, I have a method, type of 'Void', when I want to exit the method in middle, 'return' should be the 'code'? or it's 'break'.

Since I saw someone use 'break' to exit out of method, it's really out of regularity from other languages.

But, it's X++, just want to be sure.

I think break only terminates loops and switch statements.

Return is the right keyword.

I would recommend consulting the documentation (X++ Keywords) if you have this type of query.

yeah, that's what I think, but, the 'break' did exit method as far as I can tell in our code.

That doesn't make it any more correct. The compiler AX 2012 is more strict in enforcing the right syntax.

Martin is correct, if the keyword "break" is not inside a loop AX will throw an error generating incremental CIL.
