The caption is a string.
Remarks
The FIELDCAPTION function returns the caption of a specified field. FIELDCAPTION searches for a CaptionML Property. If none is found, the Name Property is used. This means that FIELDCAPTION has multilanguage functionality.
Example
The following example uses the FIELDCAPTION function to retrieve the caption of the Address 2 field in the Customer table. The function stores the retrieved caption in the varFieldCaption variable and displays it in a message box. In this Customer table, the field name is the same as the caption so the value Address 2 is displayed for the caption. If you change the caption for Address 2 in the Address 2 property window, then the new caption will be displayed. This example requires that you create the following variables in the C/AL Globals window.
| Variable name | DataType | Subtype |
|---|---|---|
MyRecord | Record | Customer |
varFieldCaption | Text | Not applicable |
 Copy Code | |
|---|---|
varFieldCaption := MyRecord.FIELDCAPTION("Address 2");
