The following data types are used for advanced functionality in Business Central, and sometimes support an interface with an external object:
- RecordID: This contains the object number and primary key of a table.
- RecordRef: This identifies a record/row in a table. RecordRef can be used to obtain information about the table, the record, the fields in the record, and the currently active filters on the table.
- FieldRef: This identifies a field in a table, hence allowing access to the contents of that field.
- KeyRef: This identifies a key in a table and the fields in that key.
Since the specific record, field, and key references are assigned at runtime, RecordRef, FieldRef, and KeyRef are used to support logic that can run on tables that aren't specified at design time. This means that one routine built on these data types can be created to perform a common function for a variety of different tables and table formats.
- Variant: This defines variables...
