RecID - if the returned table record is retrieved

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Yuji 4,131

Hi experts,

Fred Shen: Always use recId to know if a select statement returns a record - DAX Blogs - AXForum

Is this still true in Dynamics 365 FO? Can we use other fields or just as simple as (!custtable)?

Thanks,

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Yuji,

    From my perspective, the same suggestion still applied. You can also have a quick job to test same.

    Hi Yuji, It's still applicable in D365 F&O. However,  Field list should be used in select statement for better performance.

    Hi Yuji,

    You already got correct answers above. An additional thought from my side.

    The last example in the blog you shared, containing the count statement, does not look right to me. When you need a count, you never would check if the table or RecID exists. Then you just take the result set to get the count which can be zero as well. Anyway, also here you can use the RecId field to get the count.

    select count(RecId) from purchTable where
    purchTable.purchId == "Do not exist";
    
info(strFmt("Total count: %1", purchTable.RecId);

if (purchTable.RecId)
{
    ...
}
