2. Open the AOT.
3. Create a new class.
4. Rename the class to MyTestSuite.
5. Edit the ClassDeclaration so that it extends the
SysTestCase class, and add a variable
logisticsPostalAddress of type
LogisticsPostalAddress. Attribute the class with
SysTestTargetAttribute, specifying
MyTestSuite as the object name and
UtilElementType::Class as the type of the object.
6. Add a public method called testCity. Attribute it
with SysTestMethodAttribute to show that it is a
test method.
7. Add a line of code to the method:
this.assertEquals("New York",

8. Override the setUp method on the class. It should
look like the following code.

Reason for the update: Steps 4 and 5 need to be updated
because the Attributes are missing. The attributes are
shown on earlier pages but omitted on step 4 and 5.

Lesson: Data Integration
Topic: FileIO

TextIO
The TextIO class provides support for file input and output
operations of non-ANSI code page.

The TextIO.new method has an optional argument that
specifies the code page of the file. The default value is
UTF-16LE (the Microsoft Windows native Unicode
representation). It is best to use this most of the time,
especially if end-users might modify the file in a text editor
outside Microsoft Dynamics AX.

When files are read, the TextIO class examines the first
few bytes of the file for a byte-order mark (BOM) and
automatically handles UTF-8, UTF-16LE, and UTF-16BE. If
no BOM is found, the file is assumed to be in the ANSI
Code Page (ACP) format.

There are three methods typically used to write data to a
TextIO object:

TextIO.write() - writes the specified value to the
file.
TextIO.writeExp(container) - writes the contents
of a container. Elements are separated by
character defined in TextIO.outFieldDelimiter().
TextIO.writeChar(int) - writes a unicode
character represented by an integer.

The following is sample code which writes a simple string
to a text file:

FileName fileName = 'c:\\test.txt';
FileIoPermission permission;
TextIO textIO;
str outputText;
#File
;

permission= new
FileIoPermission(filename,#io_write);
permission.assert();

textIO= new TextIO(filename, #io_write,
#utf8Format);

if (textIO)
{
outputText = "text that will go
into the text file.";

textIO.write(outputText); //write
the text to the file.
textIO = null; //Close the file.
}
Reason for the update: FileIO class no longer exists in AX
2012.
