Declare array of strings

Question

I was trying to declare an array of strings like so:

str ar1[2] = ['One','Two'];

Getting a syntax error. How can I initialize and assign an array like above?

Answer 1

['One', 'Two'] is a container in the axapta. axapta has no syntax for initialize an array. use:

str ar1[2];

ar1[1] = 'One';
ar1[2] = 'Two';

Answer 2

In AX, you'r trying to assign a container collection to an array collection. Which is incorrect, Therefore you can try to follow one of the approach listed below:

Using an array:

str number[2];

// Array starts at one in AX; hence number[0] will clear every value in the array
number[1] = 'One';
number[2] = 'Two';

The other way, would be to use a container:

container con;

con += 'One';  // Equivalent to 'con = conIns(con, conLen(con)+1, 'One');
con += 'Two';  // Equivalent to 'con = conIns(con, conLen(con)+1, 'Two');

or a shortcut would be to use:

container con = ['One', 'Two'];
