Hi all,

This is nothing most of you would be interested in. This post only show steps about how to display text in multiple lines from Navision Code.

If you don't know this, then please go ahead.

The intended readers for this post are the Peoples who have recently joined and are still Learning NAV.


So Like in Programming Language C & C++ the the New Line Character used is \n.

In Navision the New Line Character is \ . So if your text string at some point have the \ and you are displaying that in a message / error you will find the output as a New Line for the text written after \.

MSDYN365BC - Data Upgrade To Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central on premises.

Hi Readers, We have already talked about the number of steps for upgrading to Business Central on Premises from different NAV versions.
