Hi experts,

I am just following to know if we can use display methods/simple methods in a dynamic query in x++. By dynamic query I mean, the query which we create it using x++ code. Please share you suggestions if it's not possible then what alternative we can take.

More precisely, here is the image what I want to say:

    Yes, you can join it in your lookup query. It's just a normal dynamic query you will be writing in classes, jobs etc.
    There is no difference when it comes to lookup. You just pass your final query to parmQuery method of the SysTableLookup.
    It will display the lookup data based on the query DataSource added with filter - joins added.
     
    Thanks,

    Please create a new thread for your other question.
     
    This topic is about "Can we add display methods or simple methods in a dynamic query in x++?" and the verified answers are related to that. It would be chaotic if we changed the topic (and either have open questions in an answered thread or even verified answers unrelated to the topic).

    Sir GirishS , Mohit RampalMartin Dráb,

    As always you helped me and I am really grateful to you all. 

    What if my lookup contains multiple table like CustTable and CustTrans. Can we join it using SysTableLookup?

    Note addLookupMethod() doesn't add a display method to a query. It just tells SysTableLookup class to run the method on table buffers returned by the query.

    Hi Arif,
     
    You can use sysTableLookup.addLookupMethod(tableMethodStr(TableName, MethodName));
