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
|
|
|
|
```al
|
|
IF NOT CONFIRM(UpdateLocationQst,TRUE,FIELDCAPTION("Location Code"),...)
