One method to convert any data type to String.

In AX, you can use the "strFmt" method. This method can convert any data type to string. There is no need to write separate methods for each data type if you want to convert them to string.


Here is some sample code. I have declared and initialized some default AX data types. These data types are converted to string, which is printed in the info log.

    int i;
    real r;
    date dt;
    CustomerTransactionType cct; //AX base enum
    
    i = 10;
    r = 5.5;
    dt = today();
    cct = CustomerTransactionType::FreeTextInvoice;
    
    
    info(strFmt('%1',i));
    info(strFmt('%1',r));
    info(strFmt('%1',dt));
    info(strFmt('%1',cct));
