Procedures

• BuildFilter(TableNo: Integer; IncludeWhereText: Boolean; var Value: Text): Boolean (internal): Opens a filter page for a table and updates the supplied view when the dialog is accepted.
• RunModalLookupTable(var ObjectID: Integer; ObjectIdFilter: Text) (internal): Opens a table lookup dialog filtered by specified object IDs. Allows users to select from available tables matching the filter criteria. Behavior: - Filters to Table objects only (no pages, codeunits, etc.) - Applies ObjectIdFilter to restrict available tables - Opens Objects page in lookup mode - U…
• RunModalLookupTableFromText(var TableReference: Text) (internal): Opens a table lookup dialog and returns the selected table name as text. Converts between text table reference and numeric table ID internally. Input handling: - If TableReference is empty → shows all tables - If TableReference contains text/number → attempts to identify and pre-select that table Ou…
• RunModalLookupFieldFromText(var TableReference: Text; var FieldReference: Text) (internal): Opens a field lookup dialog for a specified table and returns the selected field name as text. Handles table identification automatically if table reference is unclear. Workflow: 1. If TableReference is blank → prompts user to select a table first 2. Identifies table ID from TableReference (name or …
• IdentifyTableIDFromText(var CurrentTable: Text): Integer (internal): Resolves a text representation of a table to its numeric table ID. Handles both numeric IDs and table names/captions with intelligent fallback logic. Resolution logic: 1. If CurrentTable is numeric → returns that number directly 2. If CurrentTable is text → searches by Object Name first 3. If not fo…
• IdentifyFieldIDFromText(CurrentTable: Integer; var NumberOrNameOfField: Text): Integer (internal): Will return an field number of the field. If it’s a number it presumes the text is just a number and the field id. If it’s text then it will search first for field name, then afterwards field caption. If neither can be found 0 will be returned, no error will be thrown.
• SetFiltersByExpressionSyntax(var RecordRef: RecordRef; ExpressionConditionalFilterSyntax: Text) (internal): This function exists to get expression evaluator and other expressions to work. Input: FieldA=3,FieldB=4,FieldC=cow Output: Where( FieldA=const(3), FieldB=const(4), FieldC=const(5) ) **** Bad data is ignored intentionally ***
• RunModalLookupAnyField(TableNo: Integer; OptionalTypeFilter: Integer; OptionalNameFilter: Text): Integer (internal): Look up any field.
• AssistEditZone(LocationFilter: Code[20]; var ToZoneCodeFilter: Code[20]): Boolean (internal): Starts the assist edit dialog for choosing a zone.
• AssistEditBin(LocationFilter: Code[20]; ToZoneFilter: Code[20]; var ToBinCodeFilter: Code[20]): Boolean (internal): Opens a bin lookup filtered by location and zone.
• AssistEditItemNo(var ItemNoFilter: Code[20]): Boolean (internal): Opens an item lookup and updates the item number filter.
• AssistEditItemCategory(var ItemCategoryCodeFilter: Code[20]): Boolean (internal): Starts the assist edit dialog for choosing an item category.
• AssistEditInventoryPostingGroup(var InventoryPostingGroupCode: Code[20]): Boolean (internal): Opens an inventory posting group lookup and updates the selected code.
• AssistEditVendor(var VendorNoFilter: Code[20]): Boolean (internal): Starts the assist edit dialog for choosing a vendor.
• AssistEditCustomer(var CustomerNoFilter: Code[20]): Boolean (internal): Starts the assist edit dialog for choosing a customer.
• AssistEditMachine(var MachineNoFilter: Code[20]): Boolean (internal): Starts the assist edit dialog for choosing a machine.
• AssistEditRouting(var RoutingNoFilter: Code[20]): Boolean (internal): Starts the assist edit dialog for choosing a routing.
• AssistEditRoutingOperation(InRoutingNoFilter: Code[20]; var OperationNoFilter: Code[20]): Boolean (internal): Opens a routing operation lookup for a routing.
• AssistEditWorkCenter(var RoutingNoFilter: Code[20]): Boolean (internal): Opens a work center lookup and updates the selected number.
• AssistEditPurchasingCode(var PurchasingCode: Code[20]): Boolean (internal): Opens a purchasing code lookup and updates the selected code.
• AssistEditReturnReasonCode(var ReturnReasonCode: Code[20]): Boolean (internal): Opens a return reason lookup and updates the selected code.
• AssistEditQltyInspectionTemplate(var QltyInspectionTemplateCode: Code[20]): Boolean (internal): Opens a quality inspection template lookup and updates the selected code.
• AssistEditLocation(var LocationCodeFilter: Code[20]): Boolean (internal): Opens a location lookup and updates the location selection filter.
• AssistEditUnitOfMeasure(var UnitOfMeasureCode: Code[10]): Boolean (internal): Opens a unit of measure lookup and updates the selected code.
• CleanUpWhereClause2048(Input: Text): Text[2048] (internal): Extracts and truncates the WHERE clause from a table view.
• CleanUpWhereClause(Input: Text): Text (internal): Extracts the WHERE clause from a table view.
• DeserializeFilterIntoItemAttributesBuffer(AttributeFilter: Text; var TempFilterItemAttributesBuffer: Record "Filter Item Attributes Buffer" temporary) (internal): De-serializes an existing attribute filter text into an attribute filter buffer.
• SerializeItemAttributesBufferIntoText(var TempFilterItemAttributesBuffer: Record "Filter Item Attributes Buffer" temporary): Text (internal): v18 and newer only. Given an item attributes buffer, serializes it into a ‘pretend’ filter similar to BC’s filtering mechanism. A=Filter(B),C=Filter(D),E=Filter(F)
• BuildItemAttributeFilter2048(var ItemAttributeFilter: Text[2048]) (internal): Opens item attribute filter selection and updates a filter limited to 2048 characters.
• BuildItemAttributeFilter(var ItemAttributeFilter: Text) (internal): Opens item attribute filter selection and serializes the accepted filter.
• SetItemFilterForItemAttributeFilterSearching(ItemNo: Code[20]) (internal): Not intended to be used outside of the Quality Management application. Intended to be used with BindSubscription for the OnFindItemsByAttributesOnBeforeFilterItemAttributesBufferLoop hook.
• GetIsFilterSetToValue(TableNo: Integer; Filter: Text; FieldNo: Integer; ExpectedVariant: Variant): Boolean (internal): Returns a true or false if the supplied field has a filter and it’s set to the value.

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: "Qlty. Filter Helpers"), then bcatlas_get_procedure_body or bcatlas_get_neighbors on the returned id.
