|
Bad code
|
|
|
|
```al
|
|
ImportAttachmentQst@1021 : TextConst 'ENU="Import attachment "';
|
|
...
|
|
IF CONFIRM(ImportAttachmentQst + Caption +'?',TRUE) THEN BEGIN
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Good code
|
|
|
|
```al
|
|
ImportAttachmentQst@1021 : TextConst 'ENU="Import attachment %1?"';
|
|
...
|
|
IF CONFIRM(STRSUBSTNO(ImportAttachmentQst, Caption),TRUE) THEN BEGIN
|
|
```

'Difference on Periodic entries: %1 on %2' +
|

'Do you want to continue?',Balance,Date),
|

TRUE)

THEN
|

```al

DiffOnPeriodEntiesQst@100 : TextConst 'ENU="Difference on Periodic entries: %1 on %2\\ Do you want to continue?"';
|
