Most of the corpus — FindSet/SetLoadFields/CalcFields patterns, permission sets, SingleInstance codeunits, DataClassification, IsolatedStorage, transaction scope, SecretText — describes BC platform behaviour that is identical across supported versions. The seed [26..28] range on every file implied a version-specificity the content does not actually have, and there was no way to express "applies to every version" in the schema the way [w1] and [all] already do for countries and application-area. Extend the v1 schema with a universal sentinel for bc-version, parallel to the sentinels already defined for the other dimensions: bc-version: [all] # applies to every BC version [all] is mutually exclusive with explicit versions. Range shorthand ([26..28]) and explicit lists ([26, 27, 28]) continue to work for files genuinely tied to a version-gated API or deprecation. Update read.md (field definition, matching semantics, partial-context rule), write.md (default to [all], use ranges only with a concrete reason), README.md (frontmatter example), and the CI validator. All forty existing knowledge files and the three action skills convert to [all]; none of the current content is version-gated. Validator passes.

# Use FindSet with Next for iteration

## Description
|
|
|
|
When iterating over a filtered set of records with repeat-until, use FindSet together with Next. CodeCop rule AA0181 requires FindSet or Find to be paired with Next; using FindFirst or FindLast as the loop starter misrepresents intent and leads to rule AA0233.
|
|
|
|
## Best Practice
|
|
|
|
Call FindSet to start the iteration and Next to advance. Guard the loop with the standard `if FindSet() then ... until Next() = 0` idiom so callers can still handle the empty-set case.
|
|
|
|
See sample: `use-findset-with-next.good.al`.
|
|
|
|
## Anti Pattern
|
|
|
|
Starting a repeat-until loop with FindFirst or FindLast reads only one row and then calls Next on an iterator that was not intended for full-set traversal. The platform pays extra work to fetch the single row and the loop silhouette is misleading to reviewers.

|
|
See sample: `use-findset-with-next.bad.al`.
