No space between a method name and its opening parenthesis (CodeCop AA0002)

Description

CodeCop AA0002 forbids whitespace between a procedure/method name and its (. Customer.Get(CustomerNo) is correct; Customer.Get (CustomerNo) is not. The rule applies to user-defined procedures, system methods (Insert, FindFirst, CalcFields), trigger-style invocations, and the parenthesised cast/conversion forms (Format(Value), CopyStr(Source, 1, 10)). The whitespace between ( and the first argument, and between the last argument and ), is also forbidden by the same rule.

Best Practice

Customer.Get(CustomerNo), Customer.SetFilter("No.", '%1', '*A*'), Message(GreetingMsg, UserName). The standard AL formatter enforces this automatically.

See sample: no-space-before-method-parenthesis.good.al.

Anti Pattern

Customer.Get ( CustomerNo ), Message ( GreetingMsg, UserName ). Both trip AA0002 and read as if the call had an extra unnamed parameter — a small but persistent friction every reader pays.

See sample: no-space-before-method-parenthesis.bad.al.
