Dialog function debugging techniques

Sometimes, the simpler methods are more productive than the more sophisticated tools, because we can set up and test quickly, resolve the issue (or answer a question), and move on. All the simpler methods involve using one of the AL DIALOG functions, such as MESSAGE, CONFIRM, DIALOG, or ERROR. All of these have the advantage of working well in the RTC environment. However, we should remember that none of these techniques conform to the Testing Best Practices in the Help topic: Testing the Application. These should only be used when a quick one-time approach is needed, or when recommended testing practices simply won't easily provide the information needed and one of these techniques will do so.
