Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “OData actions are special methods executed on data entities that are decorated with the SysODataAction attribute.”

A block of code is set as follows:

Patch(
    'CustomersV3',
    LookUp('CustomersV3', 'Customer account' = CustomerGallery.Selected.'Customer account'),
    {
        'Credit limit': Value(CreditLimitInput.Text)
    }
);
Refresh(CustomersV3);
Set(CreditLimitValue, Value(CreditLimitInput.Text));

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

[SysODataAction('AASPostSalesOrder', false)]
    public static str postSalesorder(SalesId _salesId)
    {
        SalesFormLetter salesFormLetter;
        salesTable		salesTable;
        salesTable		= SalesTable::find(_salesId);
        salesFormLetter = SalesFormLetter::construct(DocumentStatus::Invoice);
        salesFormLetter.update(salesTable, DateTimeUtil::date (DateTimeUtil::applyTimeZoneOffset(DateTimeUtil::utcNow(), DateTimeUtil::getCompanyTimeZone())), SalesUpdate::All, AccountOrder::None, NoYes::No, NoYes::Yes);
        return CustInvoiceJour::findRecId(salesFormLetter.parmJournalRecord().RecId).InvoiceId;
    }

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “If we open the EntityKey node under Keys we see there’s only one field, the CustomerAccount one.”
