Hi,
We're about to upgrade one of our customers to BC, and - to streamline updates in the future - We're rebuilding all his customizations as extensions. - Not for appsource, but so we don't have to worry about customized standard tables aso.
Most of it works fairly well, but there is a problem on the horizon I'm not sure how to solve yet: Importing/exporting proprietary files. To my knowledge, AL Language can't receive Data from files directly and the System Object "FILE" doesn't exist anymore. I know here are solutions to receive and send Files per WebService.
But is there anything available to just get a file processed, that's sitting on the Users Harddisk? Or, vice versa exporting data into a proprietary file?
I know i COULD build a C/AL based codeunit just to handle the files, but this will defeat the whole "move to extensions" approach.
Ty for your input
