Runtime functions for tasks IN x++ OPERATIONS

X++ runtime functions for common tasks

• X++ provides several system functions that can be run with code. These functions run business operations, container operations, conversions, date operations, mathematical operations, reflection operations, session operations, and string operations.

• Business operations - Enter financial data and calculate financial formulas.
• Container operations - Run functions to manipulate the container data type.
• Conversions - Translate the data from one type to another data type.
• Date operations - Manipulate the date data type.
• Mathematical operations - Used to perform additional calculations.
• Reflection operations - Access an object's metadata and return other metadata for the object.
• Session operations - Change or report current user connection to Finance and Operations apps.
• String operations - Like the date operations, string operations can manipulate the string data type.

beep

Emits a short sound from the speakers on the computer.

X++

void beep()

beep example

X++

static void beepExample(Args _args)
{
        beep();
}

newGuid

Creates a globally unique identifier (GUID).

X++

guid newGuid()

Return value

A GUID.

newGuid example

The following example creates a GUID.

X++

static void newGuidExample(Args _arg)
{
    guid myGuid;

    myGuid = newguid();
    print strfmt("The GUID is: %1", myGuid);
}

sleep

Pauses the execution of the current thread for the specified number of milliseconds.

X++

int sleep(int _duration)

Parameters

PARAMETERS

Parameter	Description
_duration	The number of milliseconds to pause.

sleep return value

The number of milliseconds that the thread actually paused.

Example

X++

static void sleepExample(Args _arg)
{
    int seconds = 10;
    int i;

    i = sleep(seconds*1000);
    print "job slept for " + int2str(i/1000) + " seconds";
}
