In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.
Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "We need to copy the CreateVendor function."
A block of code is as follows:
Currency Code - OnValidate()
IF "Currency Code" <> xRec."Currency Code" THEN
IF NOT JobLedgEntryExist THEN
CurrencyUpdatePlanningLines
ELSE
ERROR(Text000,FIELDCAPTION("Currency Code"),TABLECAPTION);
When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
UpdateSquashPlayer()
WITH SquashPlayer DO BEGIN
GET(ContBusRel."No.");
xRecRef.GETTABLE(SquashPlayer);
NoSerie := "No. Series";
TRANSFERFIELDS(Cont);
"No." := ContBusRel."No.";
"No. Series" := NoSerie;
MODIFY;
RecRef.GETTABLE(SquashPlayer);
ChangeLogMgt.LogModification(RecRef,xRecRef);
END;
New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "We can add functions in the Globals menu."

How to read the application schemas
Most of the chapters in this book have schemas to clarify the flow of data though the system. They are specially designed for this book.
To read the schemas, follow the arrows. Wherever possible, the functional areas are grouped using boxes. Some schemas might have more starting and ending points as this is how the application is designed. Multiple master data tables are processed using normalized business logic.
This book is written by a Dutch author, which means that all the number and date formatting is done in Dutch formats, for example 1.000,00 instead of 1,000.00 and 18-10-10 for October 18, 2010.
