Get Address with Full Country Name

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Bintang 563

Dear All,

I use Microsoft Dynamic AX 2012R3

I create a function to get primary address of customer

Here is my code

public String255 getPrimaryAddress(AccountNum _accountNum)
{
    CustTable       custTable;
    DirPartyTable   dirPartyTable;
    DirPartyLocation    dirPartyLocation;
    LogisticsLocation   logisticsLocation;
    DirPartyPostalAddressView postalAddressView;

    custTable       = custTable::find(_accountNum);
    dirPartyTable   = DirPartyTable::findRec(custTable.Party);
    dirPartyLocation    = DirPartyLocation::findPrimaryPartyLocation(dirPartyTable.RecId);
    logisticsLocation   = LogisticsLocation::find(dirPartyLocation.Location);
    postalAddressView   = DirPartyPostalAddressView::find(dirPartyTable.RecId,logisticsLocation.RecId);

    return postalAddressView.Address;
}

And this is an example of address I get

2437.address.png

As we can see, the bottom of address I can get short name of country

How to make it full name country?

Thanks in advance

Best Regards,

Bintang

    Hi Bintang!

    What is your country short name and translation parameters?

    Hi,

    This will always return Country code instead of Name. If you check DirPartyPostalAddressView it is using LogdticsPostaladdressView.

    Check LogdticsPostaladdressView.FormatAddress() method you will get more details

    Just to correct about formatAddress() method. 

    This method on LogisticPostalAddress table. And take a look at this piece of code:

    case LogisticsAddressElement::CountryRegion :
                    if (_countryRegion)
                    {
                        // <GEERU>
                        if (isRU)
                        {
                            if (countryRegionTranslation.ShortName)
                            {
                                saveLogisticsAddress += countryRegionTranslation.ShortName + #Separators;
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                select firstonly Language from userInfo where userInfo.Id == curUserId()
                                join countryRegionTranslation
                                    where countryRegionTranslation.CountryRegionId == countryRegion.CountryRegionId &&
                                          countryRegionTranslation.LanguageId      == userInfo.Language;
                                saveLogisticsAddress += (logisticsAddressFormatLinesFieldList.Expand && countryRegionTranslation.LongName ?
                                                         countryRegionTranslation.LongName                                                :
                                                         (countryRegionTranslation.ShortName ?
                                                          countryRegionTranslation.ShortName :
                                                          countryRegion.CountryRegionId)) + #Separators;
                            }
                        }
                        else
                        {
                        // </GEERU>
                            saveLogisticsAddress += ((logisticsAddressFormatLinesFieldList.Expand) ? #CountryRegionToken : _countryRegion) + #Separators;
                        // <GEERU>
                        }
                        // </GEERU>
                    }
                    break;


    As you can see, for Russian functionality the ShortName is used. You may create the same for your case.

    Hi Tahta Bintang Pratama!

    Did you solve the issue?

    Hi Rustem Galiamov,

    Sorry for late reply

    I'm still try to understanding the code

  • Bintang Profile Picture

    I have checked the method formatAddress() and change it.

    But, I saw that even if you commenting all those lines inside LogisticsAddressElement::CountryRegion case, it doesn't affect how DirPartyPostalAddressView::find() function retrieve the address.

    Hi Bintang,

    If you go to the Address parameters form, you can manage address formats. On the line of the Country/Region, you can enable the 'Expand' option. When this is enabled, all new addresses from the country related to this address format, will then have the full name.

    Hi André Arnaud de Calavon,

    Where is the 'Expand' option location? I can't find it

    Hi André Arnaud de Calavon,

    I have find the Expand option, and I check it

    But doesn't change the country on address

    Is it need to restart AOS service?

    Hi Tahta,

    Like mentioned, it will format it when you create new/edit addresses. Existing addresses needs to be updated, e.g. with a script.
