Hi Experts,

I wonder if someone can clear my doubt that why we can’t see the base code in extension? For eg I assigned base table (Sales Header) into a variable and want to see the code behind that I am unable to see that. Not sure If microsoft has changed something in it.

Except that it is not going to be in a DAL file, but an AL file then nothing is changed. You need to download the application.app “symbol” file. So not sure what you mean?

Thanks Erik for your response.

Actually I am working on some project where I need to use same base objects (Lets say Customer or Sales Header Table) now I made a variable

SH : Record “Sales Header”; now for some reason I would like to see the what code has been written on any of SH table trigger so for that I click on Sales Header and select Go To Definition. If I do so I am not able to see the code behind that. However I can see the table structure. So I am just curious why I am not able to see it. Is this something changed by MS or I am doing something wrong?

Hoping that I am able to elaborate my question.

Thank you

I created a VS Code Extension called AL Object Helper.

You can try this out :smiley:

With the Extension you can Press Alt Ctrl O and search for the table or type t27 and press enter.

I know its self advertisment, but maybe it helps U :slight_smile:
