Hi,

I have a task to upgrade NAV 2013 Base Report to BC.

I have already performed txt2al conversion and imported the same into my VS code repository to build as an extension.

But the converted AL object has way too many errors, few of which i was able to resolve. But there are other illogical errors. For Eg: I have a Salesperson table declared as a global variable, when the same variable used elsewhere in the object is shown as an error.

Any help on this issue & how useful tips on 'how to upgrade the reports from 2013 to BC' would be very helpful for me and many others reading this post in the future.

Thanks

Hi,

Have you downloaded the latest Symbols in your AL app? Use command "Download symbols"

In the WorkOrder.al object. For eg: Where the SalesPurchaser Variable to declared as a Global Var, yet the report throws error in the object where it is used.

Hi,

After reviewing the attached code I have verified that the variables have this declaration:

You must change Record "13" with record "Salesperson/Purchaser", numbers must be changed by name object, on AL number objects aren't recognized.

SalesPurchPerson: record "Salesperson/Purchaser";

Hi hope this will help you

I see, but you can not create any report or objects with Standard microsoft object version list like in your case you are trying to create

report 752 "Work Order"

which is not possible.

Also you have to create a Report extension from your upgraded code not the whole report.

You can refer the below link to create a report extension

Hi,

When you try to build extension, there are no other errors reported. Sometimes if there are syntax errors, variables are not recognized
