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:

b:

c:

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.

ZHU
