Executing direct SQL on the current AX database

When you execute a SQL statement, there are two options:
- either you did a select and you expect a result to be returned
- or you did insert/update/delete and you don’t expect a result.
The first sample is for a SQL statement that returns a result:

public static server void main(Args _args)
{
    Connection    connection;
    Statement      statement;
    str                  query;
    Resultset       resultSet;
    ;

    // create connection object
    connection = new Connection();

    // create statement
    statement = connection.createStatement();

    // Set the SQL statement
    query = 'select name from CustTable';

    // assert SQL statement execute permission
    new SqlStatementExecutePermission(query).assert();

    // when the query returns result,
    // loop all results for processing
    //BP Deviation documented
    resultSet = statement.executeQuery(query);

    while(resultSet.next())
    {
        // do something with the result
        info(resultSet.getString(1));
    }

    // limit the scope of the assert call
    CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert();
}

public static server void main(Args _args)
{
    Connection   connection;
    Statement     statement;
    str                 query;
    ;

    // create connection object
    connection = new Connection();

    // create statement
    statement = connection.createStatement();

    // Set the SQL statement
    query = "insert into CustTable (AccountNum, Name, RecId) values ('demo', 'demo', 2)";

    // assert SQL statement execute permission
    new SqlStatementExecutePermission(query).assert();

    //BP Deviation documented
    statement.executeUpdate(query);

    // limit the scope of the assert call
    CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert();
}

What does this mean: "The form datasource query object does not support changing its AllowCrossCompany property after the form has executed the query."?

I have made a form with datasources vendtable and vendtrans. Inside vendtable_ds.executequery() looks like this: QueryBuildDataSource queryBuildDatasource ,queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice; ; queryBuildDatasource = this.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(vendtable)); queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice = this.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(vendtrans)); if (curext() == "MASTERCOMP") { this.query().allowCrossCompany(true); } else { this.query().allowCrossCompany(false); } //FilterVendorName = stringedit control on form if (FilterVendorName.text()) { queryBuildDatasource.addRange(fieldNum(VendTable,Name)).value(strfmt("*%1*", FilterVendorName.text())); } else { queryBuildDatasource.clearRange(fieldNum(VendTable,Name)); } //FilterInvoiceNumber = stringedit control on form if (FilterInvoiceNumber.valueStr() == "") { queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice.enabled(false); } else { queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice.enabled(true); queryBDS_VendTrans_In...

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();     ... }
