InventCostHelp.pack Method [AX 2012]

Serializes the current instance of the InventCostHelp class.

Syntax

public container pack()

Run On

Called

Return Value

Type: container
A container that contains the current instance of the InventCostHelp class.

Remarks

All variables that you must re-instantiate the class after constructing it must be packed.

Typically, a macro declared in the classDeclaration is used to list the variables to be packed. Another macro holds a version number that refers to the version of the variable list.

When a new variable is introduced, follow these steps:

  1. Increment the version number in the version macro.

  2. Copy the current list to the unpack method (see the description there).

  3. Add the new variable to the bottom of the list.

  4. Recompile the class.

When the isSwappingPrompt method returns true, you may also have to pack some prompt-related variables.
