Remove duplicate key entry from a table

Sometimes, you can’t synchronize a table because is contains duplicate records. This can occur when you change field lengths on a extended data type for example.
I’ve seen people write huge SQL statements, and even jobs that create these SQL statements to remove these duplicates from a table, but there’s actually a easy way to do this in AX.
Say you have a table KLFTestDuplicates that contains duplicates, then simple run the following job to remove them.

static void KLFRemoveDuplicates(Args _args)
{
    Set fieldSet = new set(Types::Integer);

    DictIndex  dictIndex = new DictIndex(
        tablenum(KLFTestDuplicates),
        indexnum(KLFTestDuplicates, AUniqueIdx));
    int i;
    ;

    if(dictIndex.numberOfFields())
    {
        for(i=1;i<=dictIndex.numberOfFields();i++)
        {
            fieldSet.add(dictIndex.field(i));
        }

        ReleaseUpdateDB::indexAllowDup(dictIndex);

        ReleaseUpdateDB::deleteDuplicatesUsingIds(tablenum(KLFTestDuplicates), 0, fieldSet);

        ReleaseUpdateDB::indexAllowNoDup(dictIndex);
    }

    info("done");
}

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();     ... }
