Version 27 of Business Central (runtime 16) introduces several new AL language features and capabilities that can simplify our standard library and improve compatibility with the latest platform.
Proposed changes
- Update
app.jsonto target runtime 16.0 (Business Central 2025 release wave 2). - Refactor existing functions to leverage new AL features such as:
continuekeyword for loops to replace manual flow-control using extra variables.- Multiline strings for improved readability of long constant texts.
- Overloaded
ToText()methods and newIncStrparameter for incrementing string-based numbers. - Ability to read/write YAML using
JsonObjectand use lists/dictionaries of interfaces.
- Review functions like
RemoveChar,KeepChar, andMakeDateFilterto see whether built‑in methods introduced in BC 26/27 can simplify or replace these implementations. - Check for and adopt other relevant runtime 16 features (e.g. external file storage API, new report layout properties, etc.)
These improvements will align the library with the latest language capabilities and prepare it for long-term support.
