Example
The following example opens the Customer table as a RecordRef variable that is named CustomerRecref. The code loops through fields 1 to 5 and creates a FieldRef that is named MyFieldRef for each field that is selected. MyFieldRef.TYPE retrieves the data of each field and displays it in a message box. This example requires that you create the following variables and text constant in the C/AL Globals windows.
| Variable name | DataType |
|---|---|
| CustomerRecref | RecordRef |
| MyFieldRef | FieldRef |
| Text constant | ENU value |
|---|---|
| Text000 | Field %1 is a %2 data type. |
CustomerRecref.OPEN(DATABASE::Customer);
FOR i := 1 TO 5 DO BEGIN
MyFieldRef := CustomerRecref.FIELD(i);
MESSAGE(Text000, i, MyFieldRef.TYPE);
END;
