Data conversion and formatting functions

Some data-type conversions are handled in the normal process flow by Business Central without any particular attention on part of the developer, such as code to text and character to text. Some data-type conversions can only be handled through AL functions. Formatting is included because it can also include a data-type conversion.

  • ROUND function
  • FORMAT function
  • EVALUATE function
