Dynamics 365 Business Central: How to check BaseApp version via AL (Include First-party localization)

Hi, Readers.
In Dynamics 365 Business Central: Countries/regions where Microsoft provides the regulatory compliance and other local functionality (First-party localization), I briefly summarized that there are currently 22 countries/regions where Microsoft provides the regulatory compliance and other local functionality. (2024.05.23)

PS: The BC version used in other countries/regions is the W1 version. The localization and language packs are localized by local partners. This can be selected when creating a new environment. (Cannot be changed after created)

In this post I would like to share another mini tip about this, how to check BaseApp version via AL. If you can get the BaseApp version, you can control your code to run in certain specific versions, such as only running in the W1 version.

This is very simple, we can use the following standard method.
codeunit 457 “Environment Information” -> procedure GetApplicationFamily()

For example,

In JP Region: W1

In US Region: US

Very simple. Give it a try!!!😁
