Splitting Text Without Damaging Words in Navision

When working with text data in Microsoft Dynamics Navision and Dynamics 365 Business Central, it's common to encounter issues when splitting long texts into smaller chunks while maintaining word integrity. This can be particularly problematic when developing reports or capturing fields containing lengthy text without exceeding page size.

In this example, we'll explore a function that tries to split text without exceeding the given maximum length and even without damaging words. The `TrySplitTextWithoutDamagingWords` function is designed to avoid the common problem of splitting text with standard string functions, which can lead to damaged words.

The function takes four parameters: `FullText`, `MaximumCaractorLength`, `MaximumText`, and `RemainingText`. It also returns a boolean value indicating whether there is remaining text exceeding the maximum length. Here's how it works:

First, we create three local variables: `FullText`, `SplitText`, and `RemainingText`. We then pass these variables to the function with specific values.

The function uses the `CopyStr` function to extract the first part of the text up to the maximum character length. If there is remaining text exceeding the maximum length, it returns true.

To use this function effectively, we can create a loop that calls the function repeatedly until all text has been processed or the desired maximum length has been reached.

Here's an example implementation in Navision:

```

local procedure TrySplitTextWithoutDamagingWords(FullText: Text; MaximumCaractorLength:Integer; var MaximumText: Text; var RemainingText: Text)

IsRemainingToSplit: Boolean;

begin

If (FullText = '') or (MaximumCaractorLength = 0) then

exit;

MaximumText := CopyStr(FullText, 1, MaxSpcPos - 1);

IsRemainingToSplit := StrLen(RemainingText) > MaximumCaractorLength;

end;

// Example usage:

FullText := 'NAVUSER is the best site for learning Microsoft Dynamics Navision and Dynamics 365 Business Central.';

MaximumCaractorLength := 26;

TrySplitTextWithoutDamagingWords(FullText, MaximumCaractorLength, MaximumText, RemainingText);

```

By using this function, developers can ensure that their text data is split in a way that maintains word integrity and avoids damaging words. This can be particularly useful when working with reports or capturing fields containing long text data.

Navision experts will appreciate the benefits of using this function to streamline their development workflow and improve overall system performance.
