Summary


In this chapter, we covered a number of practical tools and topics regarding C/AL coding and development. We started with reviewing methods and then we dived into a long list of functions that you will need on a frequent basis.

We covered a variety of selected data-centric functions, including some for computation and validation, some for data conversion, and others for date handling. Next, we reviewed functions that affect the flow of logic and the flow of data, including FlowFields and SIFT, Processing Flow Control, Input and Output, and Filtering. Finally we put a number of these to work in an enhancement for our WDTU application.

In the next chapter, we will move from the details of the functions to the broader view of C/AL development integration into the standard NAV code, and debugging techniques.
