FollowSorting containers with multiple levels
I encountered a scenario where I wanted to find a record of a certain type somewhere in a big container. This got med thinking, and the result is the code below. I wanted to be able to loop through a container no matter how big it was or how many levels of new containers it contained.
This job searches through the container con1 and sorts the types Integer, Real and String into separate containers. In itself this job might not be very useful, but my goal was to build something that could easily be modified to work in many different cases when looking for different values in containers.
It also finds the specific records of VendTable, CustTable and SalesTable that I hid inside the container structure.

Total discount is calculated automatically – Bug
Update: This issue was reported and has a hotfix that can be downloaded from Microsoft. Just create a new support issue on the partnersource and ask for the following:

A quick look at lists and a bit of XML
This is just a quick look at the List object in Dynamics AX. Just played around with it to see what functionality was there and what wasn’t. As you can see I just created a simple list of integers and also one with records from InventTable, if you wan’t to know what types can be placed in the list, check out the baseEnum “Types” in the AOT.
As a bonus I also created a xml file of the list of integers.
AIF – Invalid Message Schema … ??
If you ever encounter this error message in Ax4sp2 and you are one hundred procent certain that there is nothing wrong with your file, check the MessageId tag. This sequence can not just be increased by one all the time, sometimes you come to a combination which simply does not compute..
AIF – How to get rid of white-space in AX?
When you work with the AIF and xml files, you often need to handle so called “white-space”. The normal AX functions strltrim() and strrtrim() only handles normal space (ascii 32), these are two examples which handle all kinds of spaces in files. Small and simple, but very handy. 🙂
