In many AL instances, the record name qualifier is implicit because the compiler assumes a default record qualifier based on 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 AL in that object. In report and XMLport objects, the DataItem record is the implicit record qualifier for the fields referenced within the triggers of that DataItem, such as OnAfterGetRecord and OnAfterImportRecord.
