Using Local Procedures On Query Columns

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by James Lloyd 15

Hello,

Aside from aggregation (i.e., count, min) is it at all possible to manipulate fields in Query Codeunits?

I'm thinking specifically of using a local procedure (provided by Steven Renders) to pull the notes from a Note field on the Record Link table:

    local procedure GetNotesForRecordRef(MyRec: RecordRef): text[250]
    var
        RecordLink: Record "Record Link";
        TypeHelper: Codeunit "Record Link Management";
        Result: text;
    begin
        Clear(RecordLink);
        clear(Result);
        RecordLink.SetRange("Record ID", MyRec.RecordId());
        RecordLink.SetRange(Type, RecordLink.Type::Note);
        if RecordLink.FindSet() then
            repeat
                RecordLink.CalcFields(Note);
                Result += TypeHelper.ReadNote(RecordLink);
            until RecordLink.Next() = 0;
        exit(copystr(Result, 1, 250));
    end;

I can't see and obvious way to implement it.

    Hello  - We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist.  If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.
