How to use a unique Line No. when inserting a line

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 311
Hello! I have made a codeunit that lets me insert a line into the Output Journal using the Item Journal Line record.
I have managed to insert the values I want and validate them successfully, inserting one line into the table.
 
However, I am struggling to insert more than one line without deleting the first one. The reason for this is that I get this error: 
/The record in table Item Journal Line already exists. Identification fields and values: Journal Template Name='AVGANG',Journal Batch Name='STANDARD',Line No.='0'  CorrelationId:  fcde2248-cbd5-41b3-9655-e10a926ebed8./
 
I understand that the Line No. needs to change, but I am fairly new to AL, and don't quite understand how I can get the next available Line No.
AI keeps suggesting that I use the function NextLineNo(), but this function is not defined in my record /Item Journal Line/.
 
How can I get the next available Line No every time I insert a line?
I have the same question (0)

    The line number of Item Journal Line is achieved through the AutoSplitKey Property.
     
    You need to find the last one used (Findlast) and then plus 10000.
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

    You have to set these properties on the page
     

    AutoSplitKey = true;

    MultipleNewLines = true;

     

    Hope this helps
