Following on from my post: Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2 updates to Report Writer Functions, I have to admit that I made a mistake.

You might remember the story about how I created a suite of Report Writer functions and got them added to the version 7.0 Dynamics.dic core dictionary. The aim for these functions was to make it easier for partner consultants and customers to modify the reports without needing custom scripting in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) or Dexterity. They are documented in the Report Writer Functions document in the Software Developers Kit (SDK).

My great friend, Leslie Vail – The Dynamics Confessor, has released a great series of posts about the Report Writer functions available in Microsoft Dynamics GP.

Last week, I had a call from a partner asking how could they access data stored on the Internet Information window.
This is the window opened with the little italic i symbol next to the Address ID field for Company, Customer, Employee and Vendor Addresses as well as next to Employee ID and Salesperson ID fields.

In keeping with my recent theme of Microsoft Dynamics GP Report Writer related articles, I thought I would post an example of how to get more comment lines showing a SOP Document. This is a follow on from the Working with Text fields in Report Writer post.

This post will explain what is and is not possible when working with fields of text datatype in the Microsoft Dynamics GP Report Writer.
The text field datatype in Dexterity allows multi-line text to be entered up to a maximum length of 32,000 characters. A shorter keyable length maybe defined when the field is defined in Dexterity.

Over the years, I have seen a huge amount of effort and multiple calculated fields to format a date field on a report into a desired format that is something other than the default short date format, usually DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY depending on country (as defined in the control panel).

Last week, I discussed an issue where Currency values returned by VBA to a report are multiplied by 10 or 100. To workaround the issue we used string calculated fields rather than currency calculated fields on the report and formatted our values with the FormatCurrency() or FormatNumber() functions (depending on if we wanted the currency symbol or not).

The tip for today is how a Report Writer function added into the core dictionary can be used to parse runtime version and build numbers.
