How to find procedure parameters in recent versions

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Pam Robertson 199
I wrote a Dexterity procedure trigger in a previous version that runs after the GP procedure SOP_DP_Print_Forms.  I'm updating the code to 18.6.1728 and I'm getting an error 2 when registering the trigger. 
 
Can anyone tell me where to go to find the current parameters for GP procedures to find out what changed?

    Thank you so much, Dave.  This was exactly what I needed, and it will be so helpful to have the group link you provided in the future!

    How to find procedure parameters in recent versions
    Hi 
     
    The Microsoft Dynamics GP SDK contains a CoreParams_140.txt text file which has the parameters for functions and procedures up to v14.0 when they stopped maintaining the SDK documentation. 😢
     
    Since then, the support team have been posting blog articles with the parameter changes for common procedures and functions.  I have all the articles grouped together on the Microsoft Dynamics GP Links page on my blog (scroll down to second last section):
     
     
    For most (over 92%) of functions and procedures, you can also use the GP Power Tools Resource Information window in Procedures and Functions mode to show parameters. This only works for scripts exposed to visual studio, so there are 8% of scripts which use parameter types not supported by visual studio which don't show up.
     
    Sadly SOP_DP_Print_Forms is one of those.
     
    To minimize disruptions to core code, additional parameters are often added using optional parameters. This requires a recompile of the Dexterity code, but no changes to calling scripts that don't use the new parameters. The downside is that visual studio does not understand optional parameters and so that script is no longer accessible in visual studio.
     
    There are now 3 optional parameters at the end of the parameter list.
     
    optional inout    integer                nProcessID = 0;
    optional inout    boolean                fValidDocsToEmail = false;
    optional    in    boolean                fPrintAllDocuments = false;{Print All documents}
     
    If you try GP Power Tools and it says it cannot find the parameters, then the best you can do is ask on this form and someone (probably me) will give you want you need.
     
    Let me know if you need the full list or if the optional parameters are all you need. The first two optionals where in v14.0. The third parameter was added for v18.3.
     
    Kind regards
     
    David
