C/AL (Client/server Application Language) was the programming language used within C/SIDE the Client/Server Integrated Development Environment in
Navision database. C/AL resembles the Pascal language on which it is based. The original C/AL compiler was written by Michael Nielsen.[1]
Examples
Hello World
This is the classic
Hello World example. Since the C/SIDE
(Client/Server Integrated Development Environment) does not have a console to output text, this example is made using a dialog box as the visual interface.
MESSAGE('hello, world!');
Filtering and retrieving record
Variables in C/AL are not defined through code, but are defined via the variable declaration menu in the C/AL editor. In this example Item is assumed to be a variable of type Record.
IF Item.GET('31260210') THEN
MESSAGE(STRSUBSTNO('Item name is: %1',Item.Description));
Item.RESET;
Item.SETRANGE("No.",FromItem,ToItem);
Item.FINDLAST;
Looping and data manipulation
Looping over a recordset and modifying the individual records is achieved with only a few lines of code.
Item.RESET;
Item.SETRANGE("Blocked",TRUE);
IF Item.FINDSET THEN
REPEAT
IF Item."Profit %" < 20 THEN BEGIN
Item."Profit %" := 20;
Item.MODIFY(TRUE);
END;
UNTIL Item.NEXT = 0;
Item.MODIFYALL("Blocked",FALSE);
