How to Display Multiple Lines In a Message box or an Error Window?

This post is for people who have recently joined and are still Learning NAV.

In Programming Languages like C & C++ , the new line Character used is "\n".

However, in Dynamics NAV, the new line Character is "\".

Let's see an example:

Text0001 := 'This is the first line of message. \ This is the second line of message.';

MESSAGE(Text0001);

When i run these lines of code, the resultant output will be  

---------------------------
Microsoft Dynamics NAV
---------------------------
This is the first line of message.
This is the second line of message.
---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------

This can also be done like this:



MESSAGE('This is the first line of message.  \  This is the second line of message.');

The resultant output will still be
---------------------------
Microsoft Dynamics NAV
---------------------------
This is the first line of message.
This is the second line of message.
---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------


Hope you find this useful.
