Just to be thorough, Ax has two objects with similar names: Maps and Map. Maps is found on the Data Dict node of the AOT and was succinctly described in a previous response by Tony. This is not to be confused with the Map Collection Class data type, which (to quote the dev docs) is an object that associates one value (a key) with another value, which can be any X++ type, including objects. Iteration though a Map collection, like any other collection, requires instantiation of an Iterator object. You can check out Collection Classes in the Developer Help for more details. Jim
