I'm doing the Custom Functions Functions Exercise via Microsoft's Development learning path for manipulating data using code. HEre is the link if you want to visit the page...

Exercise - Custom functions - Training | Microsoft Learn

There is a direction to copy some code and paste in here, but that code creates an error that is difficult to understand. "The name FieldCaption/Credit Limit (LCY) does not exist in the current context."

I have symbols downloaded, but there doesn't seem to be any direct info from Microsoft on how to solve this issue.

    Try doing Rec.FieldCaption("Credit Limit (LCY)")
    You need to have the table in front of the FieldCaption (which in this case would be the Rec variable to indicate the record you are working with).

    Hi, just adding some info.

    If this code is from MS Learn, maybe they forgot to update the program.

    Hi,

    You can try as per below

    CreditLimitCalculated := Rec.CalculateCreditLimit();

    if CreditLimitCalculated = Rec."Credit Limit (LCY)" then begin

    Message(CreditLimitUpToDateTxt);

    exit; end; if GuiAllowed() then

    if not Confirm(AreYouSureQst, false, Rec.FieldCaption("Credit Limit (LCY)"),CreditLimitCalculated) then exit;

    CreditLimitActual := CreditLimitCalculated;

    Rec.UpdateCreditLimit(CreditLimitActual);

    if CreditLimitActual <> CreditLimitCalculated then

    Message(CreditLimitROundedTxt, CreditLimitActual);
