MARK Function (Record)

Article
06/05/2016

Marks a record. You can also use this function to determine whether a record is marked.

Syntax

  
[IsMarked :=] Record.MARK([SetMarked])

Parameters

Record
Type: Record

The input record.

SetMarked
Type: Boolean

If this parameter is true, the function will mark the record. (Previously marked records remain marked.)

If this parameter is false, the function will remove any mark.

Property Value/Return Value

Type: Boolean

true if the record is marked; otherwise, false.

The mark is effective until the application stops running.

Example 1

This example shows how to use the MARK function. Assume that at first no records are marked.

This example requires that you create the following text constant in the C/AL Globals window.

Text constant	ENU value
Text000	Customer.No.: %1, Marked?: %2

This example also requires that you create the following variables.

Variable name	DataType	Subtype
Customer	Record	Customer
Marked	Boolean	Not applicable

Customer.SETCURRENTKEY("No.");  
Customer."No." := 'NEW 3500';  
Customer.FIND('=');  
Customer.MARK(TRUE); // Mark a record.  
Customer.FIND('-'); // Find first record.  
REPEAT // Go through records  
Marked := Customer.MARK; // Test if marked.  
MESSAGE(Text000, Customer."No.", Marked);  
UNTIL Customer.NEXT = 0;

The message windows could show the following:

Customer No.: AAA 1050, Marked?: No

Customer No.: DEL 3500, Marked?: No

Customer No.: NEW 3500, Marked?: Yes

Customer No.: PEA 2500, Marked?: No

Customer No.: SOP 7500, Marked?: No

Example 2

This example shows how to use the MARK function together with the MARKEDONLY function. Assume that at first no records are marked.

This example requires that you create the following text constants in the C/AL Globals window.

Text constant	ENU value
Text001	Number of records before MARKEDONLY: %1\
Text002	Number of records after MARKEDONLY: %2

This example also requires that you create the following variables.

Variable name	DataType	Subtype
Customer	Record	Customer
No1	Integer	Not applicable
No2	Integer	Not applicable

SETCURRENTKEY(Customer."No.");  
Customer."No." := 'NEW 3500';  
FIND(Customer, '=');  
MARK(Customer, TRUE); //Mark a record.   
No1 := COUNT(Customer);  
MARKEDONLY(Customer, TRUE);  
No2 := COUNT(Customer);  
MESSAGE(Text001 + Text002, No1, No2);

The message windows could show the following:

Number of records before MARKEDONLY: 5

Number of records after MARKEDONLY: 1
