AL Language extension 10.2

Changelog on the Visual Studio Marketplace · Business Central 2022 release wave 2

Future change in behaviour

An issue in integer division was found by the community and it will be fixed with the next major release of the compiler- Version 11. Until then we are introducing a new warning AL0756 that will notify AL developers so they can adapt the change. The faulty behavior occurs only in the following scenario when j is of integer type:

local procedure TestDivision()
    var
        i: Integer;
        j: Integer;
        d: Decimal;
    begin
        i := 5;
        j := -2;
        d := i / Abs(j); // d will be 2 instead of 2.5
    end;
