For a switch statement you add the default section as follows:

switch (_variable)
{    
    case value1:        
        some code;
        break;
    case value2:
        some code;
        break;
    default:
        throw error(strFmt("@SYS23396",funcName()));
}

For an if else statement:

if (value1)
{
    some code;
}
else
{
    throw error(strFmt("@SYS23396",funcName()));
}

X++ Code Snippet: Find available quantity from the physical inventory over all storage dimensions

display InventQtyAvailPhysical inventQtyAvailPhysical(
                                       ItemId _itemId)
{
    InventOnHand     inventOnHand = new InventOnHand();
    InventDimParm    inventDimParm;
    ;    
 
    inventDimParm.initFromInventDim(
                 InventDim::findOrCreatedBlank());
    inventOnHand.parmInventDimParm(inventDimParm);
 
    inventOnHand.parmItemId(_itemId);
    return inventOnHand.availPhysical();
}

Solution: add the Supplementary Items functionality to Project Item Requirements

1. Add a new MenuItemButton to the MenuButton control ButtonLinePriceCalc on the ProjSalesItemReq form.
2. Set following properties on the newly added control:
   MenuItemType: Action
   MenuItemName: SuppItemCalc_Sales
   DataSource: SalesTable
3. Override the clicked method of the newly added control and add following code:
   

   void clicked()
   
   {   
       Args        _args = new Args();   
       ;
   
   
       _args.record(SalesTable::find(salesLine.SalesId));    
       SuppItemCreate::main(_args); 
     
       salesLine_ds.reread();
   
       salesLine_ds.refresh();
   
       salesLine_ds.executeQuery();
   
   }

   
   

Do the necessary setup of a trade agreement of the supplementary items kind for a specific item. Add an item requirement for that item. Execute the Calculation of Supplementary Items: you’ll see the results according to your created trade agreement.

Solution: Rename the added Style

I described in a previous post Export to Excel with X++ code: the sequel, how formatting can be added to the exported AX data in Excel by using the Styles class. This error message occurs when the collection object of the same class and name already exists, and you attempt to add it a second time with the same name. So apparently I had already a Style in my Microsoft Excel file with the same name as I was adding through my X++ code. I changed the name of my added Styles in my X++ code an my export went fine afterwards.

Solution: Use the EnumTypeParameter property on a Menu Item

1. Drag and drop the ProjSalesItemReq form to the Display node in the AOT as such creating a new Display Menu Item.
2. Set the EnumTypeParameter property of the newly created Menu Item to NoYes and the EnumParameter property to Yes.
   
3. Add a variable to the init method of the form ProjSalesItemReq, which will be used to store the value according to with which menu item the ProjSalesItemReq form will be called.

   NoYes                   showAll;




4. Add following code snippet to the init method of the form ProjSalesItemReq, to set the value of the filter if the form is called with the newly created Menu Item.
   

   …
   if (element.args().parmEnumType())
   
   {
   
       showAll = element.args().parmEnum();
      
       if (showAll)
   
       {
   
           ctrlActiveAll.selection(ProjActiveAll::All);
   
       }
   
   }
   …



5. Add the newly created Menu Item to the ProjTable form.

If you open the Item Requirements form with the standard Dynamics AX MenuItemButton, the filter will be set to Active, showing only the active item requirements.

If you open the Item Requirements form with the newly created MenuItemButton, the filter will be set to All, showing all item requirements for the selected Project.

X++ Code Snippet: Using a Message Box

A Message Box will be created using the Box class, asking the end user for a confirmation before the process is executed. Create following job to understand the working of the Message Box. This job will do an update of the CustTable each time the end user presses the OK button in the Message Box, else the CustTable isn’t updated.

static void tutorial_box() 
{

    CustTable   custTable; 
    ;


    if(Box::yesNo("Modify customer?"

                  , DialogButton::No) 

        == DialogButton::No)  
        return; 

    ttsbegin;
  
    select forUpdate custTable

    where custTable.AccountNum  == "1101"; 

    custTable.Memo += "\r\n"  
                   + date2str(SystemDateGet(),123,2,1,2,1,4) 
                   + " " 

                   + time2str(timenow(), 1, 1);  
    custTable.update();
  
    ttscommit;
}

Each time you run the Job a Message Box appears:

If the end user chooses Yes, the Memo field of the CustTable will be update, else not.
