The Argument table

The Argument table has an ambiguous place in the categorization of patterns. The table is used to combine fields when we call a function. This can be compared to a class in object-oriented programming. Since Microsoft Dynamics NAV does not allow us to create a class, we use the table object instead. This will automatically create a table in the SQL Server, but this table will never contain any data. However, some tables are used for both arguments and normal data.

In computer programming, the general rule of thumb is to avoid functions that have too many arguments in the signature. When a function has more than three or four arguments, we should combine them into an argument table.
