## Procedures

- `GetObjectName(Type: ObjectType; ObjectID: Integer): Text[30]`
- `GetFieldName(TableID: Integer; FieldID: Integer): Text[30]`
- `GetFieldID(TableID: Integer; FieldNameTxt: Text[30]): Integer`
- `SearchTableField(TableID: Integer; var FieldID: Integer; var FieldName: Text[30])`
- `SearchTableFieldOfType(TableID: Integer; var FieldID: Integer; var FieldName: Text[30]; Datatype: Enum "Symbol Data Type")`
- `OpenFieldLookup(TableID: Integer; var FieldID: Integer; var FieldName: Text[30]; SearchText: Text)`
- `OpenFieldLookupOfType(TableID: Integer; var FieldID: Integer; var FieldName: Text[30]; SearchText: Text; Datatype: Enum "Symbol Data Type")`
- `SearchObject(Type: ObjectType; var ObjectID: Integer; var ObjectName: Text[30])`
- `GetObjectID(Type: ObjectType; Name: Text[30]): Integer`
- `OpenObjectLookup(Type: ObjectType; SearchText: Text; var ObjectID: Integer; var ObjectName: Text[30])`

Plus 2 local procedures.

## Calls

From the extracted call graph of BC29 (graphify-al on the snapshot checkout): calls whose target is known from a declared type or an `Object::"Name"` argument. Interface dispatch and calls through events are not counted, so the list is not complete.

## Across versions

- Present in: BC29-30
- Changed (declaration) in: none

Source: AL metadata extracted from the code (names, ids, signatures, properties); no code bodies (D10).

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "codeunit", object_name: "App Object Helper")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
