Data is known facts, known pieces of information. For our purposes, we will always use “data” to mean information that is available for us to manipulate in Navision Financials using C/SIDE.
Data Types
Data Types are the different kinds of information that may appear in C/SIDE. Different Data Types have different values, different meanings for those values and are manipulated differently.
Constants
Constants are data values that are written directly into our programming statements. They are called Constants because their values never change while the user is running the application. Constants can only be changed by changing the C/AL code.
Byte
A Byte is a unit of data storage space used in computers. One character stored in the computer takes up one byte of storage. Related terms are a Kilobyte (KB), which is 1024 bytes, a Megabyte (MB), which is 1024 Kb or 1,048,576 bytes and a Gigabyte (GB), which is 1024 Mb, or 1,073,741,824 bytes.
