I need to create a field that should only accept number. No texts / symbols are allowed.

What is the AL code for the same? What is the validation code?

Hi,

you can create a field with type integer

field(10; number; Integer)

if you want use Text or Code type you must use Numeric = true

field(10; number; code[20]) { Numeric = true; DataClassification = ToBeClassified; }

Best regards,
