FIELDACTIVE Function (Record)
Checks whether a field is enabled.
Syntax
Ok := Record.FIELDACTIVE(Field)
Parameters
Record
Type: Record
The record that contains the field to check.
Field

The field that you want to check.
Property Value/Return Value

true if the field is enabled; otherwise, false.

Each field in a record can be set as enabled or disabled in the table description. You cannot use a disabled field because disabled fields cannot contain data.
Example
This example requires that you create the following variable and text constants in the C/AL Globals window.
| Variable name | DataType | Subtype |
|---|---|---|
| CustomerRec | Record | Customer |
| Text constant name | ENU value |
|---|---|
| Text000 | Atlanta |
| Text001 | The field is not marked as enabled. |
CustomerRec."Address 2" := Text000;
// If the Address 2 field has not been marked as enabled, then this
// statement causes a run-time error.
// You can avoid this error by performing the following test.
IF CustomerRec.FIELDACTIVE("Address 2") THEN
CustomerRec."Address 2" := Text000
ELSE
MESSAGE(Text001);
