Remarks
Programming Guidelines
We recommend the following guidelines for error messages:
-
Describe what is wrong and how to solve the problem.
-
Write a short descriptive message. Do not use more words than
necessary.
-
Note that a period is automatically inserted at the end of a
FIELDERROR.
-
Use a text constant for the Text
parameter.
For more information, see Progress Windows,
MESSAGE, ERROR and CONFIRM Functions.
Example
In the first example, there is no Text parameter and the field does not have a
value. This example requires that you create a Record variable for
the Customer table named CustomerRec.
| |
 Copy Code |
CustomerRec."No." := '';
CustomerRec.FIELDERROR("No.");
|
The following message is displayed:
You must specify No. in Customer No.=''.
In the next example, there is no Text parameter and the
field has a value. This example requires that you create a Record
variable for the Customer table named CustomerRec.
| |
Copy Code |
CustomerRec."No." := 'NEW 3500';
CustomerRec.FIELDERROR("No.");
|
The following message is displayed:
No. must not be NEW 3500 in Customer No.='NEW
3500'.
The third example uses a non-empty string as the Text
parameter. This example requires that you create the following
variables and text constant in the C/AL Globals window.
| Variable name |
DataType |
Subtype |
|
CustomerRec
|
Record
|
Customer
|
| Text constant name |
ConstValue |
|
Text001
|
is not valid
|
| |
Copy Code |
CustomerRec."No." := 'NEW 3500';
CustomerRec.FIELDERROR("No.", Text001);
|
The following message is displayed:
No. is not valid in Customer No.='NEW 3500'.
