# Run a message from custom code

You can run a message from code. You can do so to export or import data. For example, you can run a message to:

- **Import data**: If you want to select a file from a local folder, copy it to your work folder, and process the message to import the data from the file.
- **Export data**: If you want to export sales orders that get a specific status. For example, all sales orders that get the status **Delivered**, are exported.

### **Create custom code**

To run a message from code, some code customizations are required. As no changes to standard code are allowed, you can:

- Extend the desired standard D365 F&SCM class or table, if supported.
- Create a new class.

The custom class must be run at a point where you want to run the message. Use this custom class to call and run the message. For example, you can extend the post packing slip code, to run a message when the sales order gets the status **Delivered**.

In the custom class, add code to:

1. Find the message. For example: `BisConMessageTable myMessage = BisConMessageTable::FindRecid(MyMessageReicd);`
2. Create the message arguments. For example: `BisArgs myArgs = new BisArgs();`
3. Adjust arguments. For example, to add the current record: `myArgs.record(currentRecord); (this is, in the example, the Delivered sales order record)`
4. Optionally, add dialog arguments to define the range. For example: `BisDialogBase myDialog = new BisDialogBase();myDialog.setFieldValue("company", curext());myArgs.dialogBase(myDialog);`

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> Make sure, to add the dialog argument as parameter to the applicable document record range.
5. Run the message. This code processes the message with the defined arguments. For example: `myMessage.run(myArgs);`
