Compiling Objects

  • [アーティクル]

Before you can run a Microsoft Dynamics NAV object, you must compile the object. To compile an object, do one of the following:

  • In Object Designer, choose Tools, and then choose Compile. Any syntax errors are displayed in a dialog box. Any errors or warnings about obsolete constructs in a three-tier environment are displayed in the Error List window.

  • Run finsql.exe with the CompileObjects command. Any errors or warnings are added to the log file. For more information, see CompileObjects.

Note

To compile an object, you must have a developer license.

Syntax Errors

Syntax errors are detected by the C/AL compiler when you try to compile C/AL code, either in a codeunit or as code in another object, such as a table, page, report, query, or XMLport. If you open an object in the designer and then compile the object, then if the compiler detects a syntax error, when you press ENTER and acknowledge the error message, the C/AL editor opens with the cursor in front of the expression that has the error. If you compile an object directly from Object Designer and if the compiler detects a syntax error, then the C/AL editor does not open to show where the error occurred.

The compiler will not compile code that contains a syntax error.

Obsolete Construct Errors

The following types of obsolete construct errors and warnings are displayed:

  • Unsupported data type warnings for Binary and XMLport types.

  • Unsupported function calls.

Note

Unsupported function calls for reports are not reported in the Error List window.

If you select an error in the Error List window and choose Design, then the C/AL Editor opens for the object to which the error or warning relates.
