To use the GET method, SETRANGE(), SETFILTER(), and other basic methods in AL, you can follow these steps:
Create a new codeunit or add code to an existing one where you want to use these methods.
Declare variables to hold the data you want to retrieve or modify using these methods. For example:
VAR
Record: RecordName;
Text: Text[50];
Integer: Integer;
Use the GET method to retrieve a record by its primary key or any other field. For example:
Record.GET(PrimaryKeyValue);
Record.GET("Field Name", FieldValue);
Use the SETRANGE() method to filter records based on specific criteria
. For example:
Record.SETRANGE("Field Name", FilterValue);
Record.SETRANGE("Field Name", FilterValue1, FilterValue2);
Use the SETFILTER() method to filter records based on complex criteria using operators like '=', '<>', '>', '<', '<=', '>=', etc. For example:
Record.SETFILTER("Field Name", '[Operator]', FilterValue);
Use other basic methods like FINDSET(), FINDFIRST(), FINDLAST(), NEXT(), etc., to navigate through the filtered records or perform operations on them. For example:
IF Record.FINDSET THEN BEGIN
// Handle the found records
...
}
Record.FINDFIRST;
WHILE Record.NEXT DO BEGIN
// Handle each record
...
}
Use additional methods like INSERT, MODIFY, DELETE, or MODIFYALL to modify the retrieved records as per your business logic. For example:
Record.DELETE;
Record.MODIFY;
Record.MODIFYALL(FieldToUpdate, NewValue);
These are some of the basic methods you can use in AL to work with records and data in Dynamics 365 Business Central. Modify them as per your specific requirements.
