Inserting list elements into a column in AL

Posted on by 479

In my report extension, I would like to turn a list that I have calculated into a column.
So ['a','b','c',] becomes a column labelled "Alphabet" with data:

'a'
'b'
'c'

Is this possible?

    Could you do it as an array instead? You can then have a column per array value.

    var

    Alphabet: array of text;

    OnPreReport()

    Begin

    Alphabet[1] := ‘a’;

    …etc.

    End;

    Column(Alphabet1; Alphabet[1]){}
