Posted on by

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)

I have the same question (0)

    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.
