Parameters
Variant
Type: Variant
An instance of the Variant data type.
Return Value
Ok
Type: Boolean
true if the AL variant contains a Date variable, otherwise false.
Example
The following example determines whether an AL variant contains a Date variable. The code initializes the MyDate variable with a Date value. The MyDate variable is assigned to the variant variable that is named MyVariant. The IsDate method determines whether the variant contains a Date variable and stores the return value in the varResult variable. In this case, the variant contains a Date variable so true is returned and displayed in a message box. The IsCode Method (Variant) determines whether the variant contains a Code variable. The return value is false because the variant does not contain a code.
var
MyDate: Date;
MyVariant: Variant;
varResult: Boolean;
Text000: Label 'Does the variant >%1< contain a date variable? %2.';
Text001: Label 'Does the variant >%1< contain a code variable? %2.';
begin
MyDate := Today;
MyVariant := MyDate;
varResult := MyVariant.IsDate;
Message(Text000,MyVariant,varResult);
varResult := MyVariant.IsCode;
Message(Text001,MyVariant,varResult);
end;
