Writing Text File in Dynamics AX

The function strLfix would be the most likely fix. A similar function strRfix right aligns the text to a specified lenght.
Also remember to set the output field delimiter to the empty string. The default of one blank space is not relevant here.
static void TextIoTest(Args _args)
{
    TextIo f = new TextIo(@"C:\Temp\test.txt", 'w');
    ;
    f.outFieldDelimiter('');
    f.outRecordDelimiter('\r\n');
    f.write(    strLfix("abc",20), '|', strRfix("xyz",15), '|', 117);
    f.writeExp([strLfix("abc",20), '|', strRfix("xyz",15), '|', 117]);
    f.write(); // To force CR NL
}
The job opens the file for writing (truncates existing file or creates a new file), set the field and record delimiters, then writes the same line twice (using two different calls). The last call to write appends the record delimiter, this may or may not be important depending on the receiver.
You can use strrep, substr, and strpoke, please find an example in \Classes\VendOutPaymRecord_UK_BACS\output.

Dynamics Axapta: Sales Orders & Business Connector

Well, again folllowing my same idea of writting close to nothing and pasting code, I'll paste in some code to create a sales order from some basic data and the invoice it. I'll try to explain more in the future. AxaptaObject axSalesTable = ax.CreateAxaptaObject("AxSalesTable"); AxaptaRecord rcInventDim = ax.CreateAxaptaRecord("InventDim"); AxaptaRecord rcCustTable = ax.CreateAxaptaRecord("CustTable"); rcCustTable.ExecuteStmt("select * from %1 where %1.AccountNum == '" + MySalesOrderObject.CustAccount + "'"); if (MySalesOrderObject.CurrencyCode.Trim().Length == 0) MySalesOrderObject.CurrencyCode = rcCustTable.get_Field("Currency").ToString().Trim(); string sTaxGroup = rcCustTable.get_Field("taxgroup").ToString().Trim(); //set header level fields axSalesTable.Call("parmSalesName", MySalesOrderObject.SalesName.Trim()); axSalesTable.Call("parmCustAccount", M

Passing values between form and class

Class name is EmplDuplication and Form is EmplTable . void clicked() {    MenuFunction mf;    args args = new Args();    ;     args.record(EmplTable);     mf = new menufunction(identifierstr(EmplDuplication), MenuItemType::Action); mf.run(args); } Meanwhile, in the main() method of the EmplDuplication class, we need to put this Axapta x++ code to get the datasource: static void main(Args args) {     EmplDuplication EmplDuplication; EmplTable localEmplTable; ;     if(args.record().TableId == tablenum(EmplTable)) localEmplTable = args.record();     ... }
