Posted on by Community Member

I am a Junior Developer that has never worked with this language before. I have received so tasks for training and I am having a hard time figuring it out. Can any one help?

Tasks: 1 - On Loan Card page create a field (variable) that will show Name + Surname. Not a table field but a page field

a - create global variable on Loan Card page with a type Text and name it FullName

b - add this variable as a field on a page

c - Write code that will update this variable when First Name or Last Name is modified (you can do that by utilizing OnValidate trigger)

    RE: creating global variable for Name + Surname

    Hi, Below is an example in BC. (AL Language)

    And because the standard does not have a Loan Card page, so I use Employee Card as an example.

    a:

    On the page:

    Source code:

    pageextension 50113 EmployeeCard extends "Employee Card"
{
    layout
    {
        addafter("Last Name")
        {
            field(ZYFullName; ZYFullName)
            {
                Caption = 'Full Name';
                ApplicationArea = All;
                Editable = false;
            }
        }

        modify("First Name")
        {
            trigger OnAfterValidate()
            begin
                ZYFullName := Rec."First Name"   ' '   Rec."Last Name";
            end;
        }

        modify("Last Name")
        {
            trigger OnAfterValidate()
            begin
                ZYFullName := Rec."First Name"   ' '   Rec."Last Name";
            end;
        }
    }

    var
        ZYFullName: Text;
}

    Hope this will help.

    Thanks.
