Summary

In this chapter, we covered Visual Studio Code navigation. We covered a number of AL language areas, including methods and procedures and how they may be used, variables of various types (both development and system), basic AL syntax, expressions, and operators. Some of the essential AL methods that we covered include user dialogs, SetRange filtering, Get, variations of Find, and begin-end for code structures, plus if-then for basic process flow control. Finally, we got some hands-on experience by adding validation code to a table and creating a new report that included embedded AL code, a request page, and a Word layout.

In the next chapter, we will expand our exploration and practice using AL. We will learn about additional AL methods, flow control structures, input/output methods, and filtering.
