Here’s this week’s #BCFridayTips for #msdyn365bc developers.
💡 Did you know that each data type in AL has built-in instance methods?
Just press dot (.) after a variable to see what’s available!
For example, a Text variable gives you:
➡️ Contains
➡️ Replace
➡️ Remove
➡️ Split
➡️ Substring
➡️ ToUpper / ToLower
➡️ Trim
A Date variable provides:
➡️ Day
➡️ DayOfWeek
➡️ Month
➡️ WeekNo
➡️ Year
Why?
✅ Saves time. No need to reinvent the wheel.
Next time you’re handling data, check the built-in methods first!
