| 2 | Description | Text[100] | Specifies a description of the tax jurisdiction. For example, if the tax jurisdiction code is ATLANTA GA, enter the description as Atlanta, Georgia. |  |

- [Codeunit 43 "Language"](../codeunit/43.md) (1 call: `GetDescriptionInCurrentLanguageFullLength → GetUserLanguageCode`)

## 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: "table", object_name: "Tax Jurisdiction")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
