AX X++ str2Date

From time to time, a user will need to pull a date from a string. More often than not it is from an XML or from some other location. In order to actually use this date passed, it needs to be of data type 'date' so it can be written to fields, used in queries etc.  To do this, a user can use the 'str2Date' function.

The str2Date function takes two parameters:
  1. datestring = The date in string format. It can be separated by either a dash ('-') or slash ('/')
  2. sequence = A three number combo using 1, 2, and 3 where 1 = day, 2 = month, and 3 = year. (e.g. 231 would be MM-YYY-DD, and 321 would be YYYY-MM-YY)
If the sequence doesn't match the string or has an error, a '0' will result. Note that its very important to distinguish between day and month as an invalid month (>12) will result in a 0 and if both are <13, the date can translate totally wrong.

I've detailed out the results of various scenarios below. Should be pretty self explanatory so I won't go into too much additional detail. I included the output as well as the code used to get it. Kinda neat. Enjoy!

Use X++ wildcard (LIKE and NOT LIKE) in X++ select statement

For x++ select statements:  select firstOnly batchHistory      where batchHistory.Caption  LIKE  "*Test*"  For x++ queries:  queryBuildRange.value(*Test*); Note the LIKE instead of a '==' and the wildcards inside of the quotations. All other combinations of wildcard usage will work here. This is the same functionality as what the users would put in the grid filtering(eg. '*TEST*' in the caption field filter on the batch tasks form).  However, if you want to find all Captions that do not have the word Test in them (NOT LIKE, !LIKE), you will have to modify the above example slightly.  For x++ select statements:  select firstOnly batchHistory      where  !( batchHistory.Caption LIKE "*TEST*" ) ;  For x++ queries:  queryBuildRange.value(!*Test*);

Format Label Tom Jerry (MS Word)

Setelah beberapa lama aku tidak membuat label undangan, tiba-tiba kemarin aku diminta untuk membuat label undangan Wisuda dengan menggunakan label merek Tom & Jerry (TJ). Harusnya sih menjadi tugas sekretaris panitia tapi karena yang bersangkutan ada tugas di luar kantor maka aku yang membereskannya. Mula-mula aku membuat format labelnya dengan cara manual, tapi untung ada pak Mulyadi (staf tata usaha) yang menyarankan aku untuk mengunduh format label yang telah ada di Internet. Mulailah aku browsing di google dan menemukan format label berbagai ukuran dari website Tom & Jerry di alamat berikut  http://tjlabels.com/en/download.html  (yang link ini agak rempong krn pake masukin nomor captcha-captcha-an).
