Referencing Variable Names

Hello,

Is it possible to reference different variables with one AL statement?

For example, Label variables are defined like

Label01: Label 'aaaaa';

Label02: Label 'bbbbb';

Label03: Label 'ccccc';

And instead of referencing each variable with 3 AL lines, referencing like

Value := Labelnn;

(where nn is 01, 02, 03)

I have a feeling that this is not possible, but if anyone knows the solution to this, please advise.

Thank you!

Hi, I think you can try the array.

A very simple example:

Hope this will help.

Thank you, Zhu. I should have been more specific.

What I wondered if I could do is to reference the label variables in one statement.

...

Label1: Label 'aaaaa';

Label2: Label 'bbbbb';

Label3: Label 'ccccc';

Name: Text;

n: integer;

...

for n := 1 to 3 do begin

Name := Labeln;

(do something using Name)

end;

...

So the name of the variable needs to be referenced "as variable", like "Labeln".

I guess it is not possible with AL and in the case above, I need to write the process for each Label variable (Label1, Label2, Label3).

Hi, yes, as Teddy said, it is not possible.

But if you want to reduce the number of variables, I think arrays are also a good choice.

For example.

Hope this will help.

Thanks.
