How to use Optional Parameters in Function?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Dominic Saladin 40

Hey everybody

I have a question about Optional Parameters in AL.

I found a Documentation about Methods in Dynamics 365.

And in this Documentation they talked about optional Parameters.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-al-methods#example-1

Is it possible to use optional parameters at the moment?

And if yes, how can I use them in my own Function?

Thanks for your help :)

Dominic

    I don't believe it's possible. I think the article was saying that some built in methods have optional variables.

    There is no optional parameter for your function.

    The optional parameter is only available for the BC build-in programming method, such as CALCDATE.

    procedure UpdatePurchaseOrder(  CRUD_Type: Option Create,Update,Delete): Boolean

    var

    Begin

    End;

    Thanks for your Answer.

    It's a bit disappointing, but now I know.

    I hope someday, Dynamics will be programmed in C# :)
