Finding unused labels in Dynamics Ax 2009

The pain of unused labels is felt when you start translating your application to support the global versions. As we were porting our application to German we were seeing every possible way to speed up the translation work, one of it was to avoid translating unused labels.  So we tried a few tools that helps us identify this but unfortunately nothing turned helpful. We then resorted to invent our own strategy ….
I’m just reposting what my colleague had already posted on his blog with little more detail and a few additions …
*This job works only if your cross reference is updated*
static void FindUnUsedLabels()
{
    str 50          labelId;
    str             labelString;
    int             i;
    //set max label to the highest number of labelId in your application
    int             maxLabel = 2000;
    xRefNames       names;
    XRefReferences  ref;
    ;
    while (i <= maxLabel) 
    {
        //Sequential generation
        labelId = "@IFC" + int2str(i);
        //Find if the label id has an cross reference
        //record
        select recid from names
            where names.Name == labelid
        exists join ref
            where names.RecId == ref.xRefNameRecId;
        labelString = SysLabel::labelId2String(labelId);
        //If there is no record in cross reference then log it
        if (! names.RecId &&
        //avoid logging labels that are already deleted (This is because of sequential check like IFC1, IFC2, IFC3 etc...)
            labelString != labelId)
        {
            info(strfmt("%1 - %2\n", labelId, SysLabel::labelId2String(labelId)));
        }
        i++;
    }
}

Mark All for Open Cust Trans and Open Vend Trans

We have situations where there are lots of open transactions that need to be settled against each other. This can be the case if auto settlement is turned off. One solution is to add a "Mark All" button to the custOpenTrans or vendOpenTrans forms. This button "checks" the mark checkbox on every line. The user can then uncheck several lines if needed and Update to settle the lines. The code below is an example of what we used on the open vendor transaction screen. The code is very similar on the AR side. One note: I used vendTable.AccountNum in the code below. That should be generalized to work with any buffer that is passed into the open trans form. void customMarkAll() { VendTransOpen localVendTransOpen; VendTrans localVendTrans; container conSum; int linesProcessed; ; //show wait cursor startLengthyOperation(); element.lock(); //remove all prior markings specOffsetVoucher.deleteSpe...
