Example
The following example determines whether an AL variant contains a text variable. The code initializes the MyText variable with a text value. The MyText variable is assigned to the variant variable that is named MyVariant. The IsText method determines whether the variant contains a text variable and stores the return value in the varResult variable. In this case, the variant contains a text variable so Yes is returned and displayed in a message box. The IsCode method determines whether the variant contains a code variable. The return value is No because the variant does not contain a code.
var
MyText: Text[50];
MyVariant: Variant;
varResult: Boolean;
Text000: Label 'Does the variant >%1< contain a text variable? %2.';
Text001: Label 'Does the variant >%1< contain a code variable? %2.';
begin
MyText := 'This is some text';
MyVariant := MyText;
varResult := MyVariant.IsText;
Message(Text000,MyVariant,varResult);
varResult := MyVariant.IsCode;
Message(Text001,MyVariant,varResult);
end;
