Variant.IsRecord() Method

Version: Available or changed with runtime version 1.0.

Indicates whether an AL variant contains a Record variable.

Syntax

Ok :=   Variant.IsRecord()

Note

This method can be invoked using property access syntax.

Parameters

Variant
 Type: Variant
An instance of the Variant data type.

Return Value

Ok
 Type: Boolean
true if the AL variant contains a Record variable, otherwise false.

Example

The following example determines whether an AL variant contains a record variable. The Get method gets customer number 10000 from the Customer table. The record is stored in the MyRecord variable. The MyRecord variable is assigned to the variant variable that is named MyVariant. The ISRecord method determines whether the variant contains a Record variable and stores the return value in the varResult variable. In this case, the variant contains a Record 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
    MyRecord: Record Customer;
    MyVariant: Variant;
    varResult: Boolean;
    Text000: Label 'Does the variant >%1< contain a record variable? %2.';
    Text001: Label 'Does the variant >%1< contain a code variable? %2.';
begin
    MyRecord.Get('10000');  
    MyVariant := MyRecord;  
    varResult := MyVariant.IsRecord;  
    Message(Text000,MyVariant,varResult);  
    varResult := MyVariant.IsCode;  
    Message(Text001,MyVariant,varResult);  
end;
