Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: "Relative can be used to compare values on a scale between 0 and 1."

A block of code is set as follows:

Public Function BlankZero(ByVal Value As Decimal)
if Value = 0 then
        Return ""
end if
    Return Value
End Function

Public Function BlankPos(ByVal Value As Decimal)
if Value > 0 then
        Return ""
end if
    Return Value
End Function
 

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

DynamicsNAV:////runreport?report=xxxxx

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "A chart is added by using the Customize This Page feature in the RTC".
