CAPTION Function (RecordRef)
Gets the caption of the table that is currently selected. Returns an error if no table is selected.
Syntax
Caption := RecordRef.CAPTION
Parameters
RecordRef
Type: RecordRef
The RecordRef that identifies the table in which you are interested.
Property Value/Return Value
Type: Text
The caption of the table.
Remarks
This function works just like the TABLECAPTION Function (Record).
Example
The following example selects tables 3 through 5 and opens each table as a RecordRef variable that is named MyRecordRef. The CAPTION function uses the RecorRef variable to retrieve the caption for each of the tables and displays the table number and the caption in a message box. The CLOSE Function (RecordRef) closes the table. This example requires that you create the following variables and text constant in the C/AL Globals window.
| Variable name | DataType |
|---|---|
| MyRecordRef | RecordRef |
| varCaption | Text |
| i | Integer |
| Text constant name | DataType | ENU value |
|---|---|---|
| Text000 | Text | Table No: %1 Caption: %2 |
FOR i := 3 TO 6 DO BEGIN
MyRecordRef.OPEN(i);
varCaption := MyRecordRef.CAPTION;
MESSAGE(Text000, i, varCaption);
MyRecordRef.CLOSE;
END;
This example displays the following:
Table No: 3 Caption: Payment terms
Table No: 4 Caption: Currency
Table No: 5 Caption: Finance Charge Terms
