When we are writing code referring to fields within a record, the most specific syntax for field references is the fully qualified reference [ RecordName.FieldName ]
. When referring to the field City in the record Customer, use the reference Customer.City

In many C/AL instances, the record name qualifier is implicit, because the compiler assumes a default record qualifier based on the code context. This happens automatically for variables within a page bounded to a table. The bound table becomes the implicit record qualifier for fields referenced in the Page object. In a Table object, the table is the implicit record qualifier for fields referenced in the C/AL in that object. In Report and XMLport objects, the Data Item record is the implicit record qualifier for the fields referenced within the triggers of that Data Item such as OnAfterGetRecord
and OnAfterImportRecord
