dynamics ax or dynamics 365 fo i had a customer who needed to convert a decimal to fraction so i just translated this stackoverflow post where all credit is due i m sure someone else will find it useful at some point the two main things in the job below details taken from stackoverflow are _real which is the value you want to convert and _accuracy which specifies the max relative error not the max absolute error so _accuracy 0 01 would find a fraction within 1 of the value i also quickly threw this job together so i didn t test for extremely large integers or any edge cases here s a simple job that demonstrates how it works static void kw_dectofrac args _args create a function that accepts these two parameters real _real 0 45 real _accuracy 0 01 int sign _real 0 1 _real 0 0 1 real

adjust your deployablepackages cleanup duration microsoft automatically cleans up the deployablepackages folder for data older than 30 days on your dynamics 365 for finance and operations enterprise edition machine if you are using the lcs servicing flows if you prefer to keep less data such as 10 days you can add the following registry key to hklm software microsoft dynamics deployment or copy
