NAV2013 Beta to RTM – Some Striking Code Changes #1: Objects Statistics

You might recall that for NAV 2013 Beta I noted down the objects statistics here. So here is a small update moving from Beta (object date May 9, 2012) to RTM (object date September 7, 2012).

In the 4 months between Beta and RTM the NAV team clearly hasn’t been leaning back with respect to NAV 2013.

So quite a substantial number of objects have been updated. 1960 on a total 3,908 objects in RTM (3,911 in Beta).

Patterns

Though some individual objects show updates in the application (bug fixes?), the major part clearly show the following update patterns:

• Replacement of FIND(‘-‘) and FIND (‘+’) with FINDFIRST and FINDLAST (but in some case also the other way around)
• Removal of unused variables
• Update of untranslated local captions (local captions did contain a copy of ENU caption
• Extended object permissions
• Syncing code with coding standards
  • implicit use of record variables
  • double occurrences of semicolons
  • IF-THEN-ELSE constructions
  • BEGIN-END constructions
  • CASE constructions
  • function call without parameters

In a series of next posts I will dive into some details.

Note

This is for the NL version. However, this gives a good indication for w1 as NL localization is very restricted.
