When i try to create a global variable of type Automation then show’s an error below

Microsoft Dynamics NAV

‘Automation’ is not an option.

The existing options are:

System, File, TransactionType, InStream, OutStream, Variant, BigText, Dialog, Action,
Codeunit, Form, Record, RecordRef, FieldRef, RecordID, KeyRef, Report, Dataport,
XMLport, Boolean, Option, Integer, Decimal, BigInteger, Char, Text, Code, Date, Time,
Duration, DateTime, Binary, TextConst, DateFormula, GUID

OK

But code unit 6810(EP Request Handler) uses those variables for passing messages through msmq. how can i uses Automatoin Datatype in new code unit.

What is the error? It may be a license issue that allows you to work with existing Automation variables, bit not create new ones.

hello

you need granule OCX granule 1,750 in order to select automations. Otherwise you can only use existing codeunits that does have them. Or you need to ask your NSC to add them for you.
