Posted on by RomRyan
Hi all,
 
I have this query. How can I achieve this in AL? . I don't want join, I want union. I need to use this in making a report and also in using the whole set of data to do some other validations.
 
SELECT ‘17’ As [Table No],[G_L Account No_],[Document No_],Amount
FROM [Company$G_L Entry]
UNION
SELECT ‘81’ As [Table No],[Account No_],[Document No_],[Amount (LCY)]
FROM [Company$Gen_ Journal Line]
 
Regards,
RomRyan

    Hi you can look into Flowfields. 
    Use the flowfield type lookup.

    A union in AL can be achieved via a temp table, but be aware that the performance could be compromised. Another alternative is to provide a PBI solution if this is only for reporting.
