SysQueryRangeUtil class -Use method name as query criteria(Reports)

SysQueryRangeUtil class - use method name as query criteria

This is a cool new feature in AX 2009 - you can now use a method name instead of literal value in query criteria!

For example, if you run a report every month, previously you need to change the date criteria in each month you running the report 

(ie.“01/06/2010..30/06/2010”,  “01/07/2010..31/07/2010”, etc).
Now you only need to enter (monthRange(0, 0)) which will automatic return the correct first day and last day of the month.

For Example: - 

You can also refer to the SysQueryRangeUtil class – there are a lot of useful methods such as dateRange(), currentEmployeeId(), etc. It’s also possible to create new method on this class for special purpose. But do this with caution.

Finding all data sources in a form through Job

Finding all data sources in a form through code

Hi ,

Here is small trick to find the datasource in form. Open job node , and a new job and copy paste following code over there,.....

static void AllDataSourcesInForm(Args _args)
{
    Args args = new Args();
    FormRun fr;
    FormBuildDataSource formBuildDataSource;
    counter i;
    ;
    args.name("CustTable");   // its your FORM name
    fr = ClassFactory.formRunClass(args);
    for(i=1 ; i<=fr.form().dataSourceCount();i++)
    {
        formBuildDataSource = fr.form().dataSource(i);
        info(new DictTable(formBuildDataSource.table()).name());
    }
}


When you run this job you get all data source which is used in CustTable Form
