## Procedures

- `GetBooleanFor(Input: Text): Boolean`: Converts text input to a boolean value using flexible interpretation rules. Treats any positive boolean representation as true, everything else as false. Recognized as TRUE (case-insensitive): - Standard: "Yes", "Y", "True", "T", "1", "On" - Quality-specific: "Positive", "Check", "Checked", "Good", ...
- `IsTextValuePositiveBoolean(ValueToCheckIfPositiveBoolean: Text): Boolean`: Checks if a text value represents a "positive" or "true-ish" boolean value. IMPORTANT: This does NOT validate whether the text is boolean-like. It ONLY returns true if the text matches a positive boolean representation. Non-boolean text and negative boolean values both return false. Use case: Qualit...
- `IsTextValueNegativeBoolean(ValueToCheckIfNegativeBoolean: Text): Boolean`: Checks if text represents a negative/false boolean value. Only returns true for negative boolean representations; does NOT validate if text is boolean-like. Recognized negative values (case-insensitive): - Standard: "No", "N", "False", "F", "0" - Quality-specific: "Bad", "Fail", "Failed", "Unaccepta...
- `CanTextBeInterpretedAsBooleanIsh(InputText: Text): Boolean`: Checks if text can be interpreted as a boolean-like value (positive or negative). Detects whether input looks like a boolean representation, regardless of its value. Returns true if input matches any boolean representation: - Positive: "Yes", "True", "Pass", "Good", etc. - Negative: "No", "False", "...

## Called by

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.

- [Page 20414 "Qlty. Inspections API"](../page/20414.md) (5 calls: `ChangeItemTracking → GetBooleanFor`, `CreateMovement → GetBooleanFor`, `CreateTransferOrder → GetBooleanFor`, …)
- [Codeunit 20410 "Qlty. Result Evaluation"](../codeunit/20410.md) (3 calls: `TryApplyBooleanFilter → CanTextBeInterpretedAsBooleanIsh`, `ValidateAllowableValuesOnText → CanTextBeInterpretedAsBooleanIsh`, `ValidateAllowableValuesOnText → GetBooleanFor`)
- [Codeunit 20599 "Qlty. Misc Helpers"](../codeunit/20599.md) (1 call: `GuessDataTypeFromDescriptionAndValue → CanTextBeInterpretedAsBooleanIsh`)

## 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: "Qlty. Boolean Parsing")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
