Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central – AL Region Directive

In the AL programming language, region directives are used to organize code to a specific region or section of code. Regions can help developers keep track of and manage the code for different parts of an application. The Region Directives also mark a block of code that you can expand or collapse, which is helpful with readability or focusing on sections of code.

codeunit 50101 "DVLPR Region Directive"
{
    #region Return Letters
    procedure ReturnA(): Char
    begin
        exit('A');
    end;

    procedure ReturnB(): Char
    begin
        exit('B');
    end;

    procedure ReturnC(): Char
    begin
        exit('C');
    end;
    #endregion

    #region Return Numbers
    procedure Return1(): Integer
    begin
        exit(1);
    end;

    procedure Return2(): Integer
    begin
        exit(2);
    end;

    procedure Return3(): Integer
    begin
        exit(3);
    end;
    #endregion
}

A region block is marked with the #region directive and is closed with the #endregion directive.
