For user messages, errors etc., use FIELDCAPTION not FIELDNAME and TABLECAPTION not TABLENAME.
Reason:
1. The correct translation will be automatically used.
2. If the caption/name changes, then there will be a single point of change needed.
Bad code
```al
IF NOT CONFIRM(UpdateLocationQst,TRUE,FIELDNAME("Location Code"),...)
```
Good code
