Important function in x++ for AX 2009 and AX 2012

Important function in X++

I would like to share some important function in x++ Like subStr(), strCmp(),strDel() , strFind (),strfmt () , strLen (),strLwr (),strUpr (),strRep(),systemDateGet(),today(),trunc (),boxExample (),conins(), conLen(), conPeek(), conNull() which seems to easy but some time became very tough to recall in between to coding, so don’t worry and keep coding…….
