BC19 with target Cloud enters Scope('OnPrem') Function

[VictorMilveden]

1. Describe the bug
When calling Function DocumentSendingProfile.Send(ReportUsage, RecordVariant, DocumentNo, CustomerNo, DocName, CustomerFieldNo, DocumentFieldNo); with BC 19 Cloud app the code enters Function: SendToDiskForCust on Table: Report Selection which is aScope('OnPrem') function.

My app.json target is Cloud:

2. To Reproduce

1. Go to 'app.json' and include property "target": "Cloud"
2. Add a breakpoint on Table: Report Selection Function: SendToDiskForCust
3. Call function DocumentSendingProfile.Send(ReportUsage, RecordVariant, DocumentNo, CustomerNo, DocName, CustomerFieldNo, DocumentFieldNo);
4. The breakpoint on Table: Report Selection Function: SendToDiskForCust should be triggered, which is a Scope('OnPrem') function.

3. Expected behavior
I would expect a compile error like this one:

4. Actual behavior
The actual behavior runs function ``DocumentSendingProfile.Send();``` and enters a OnPrem Function:

5. Versions:

• AL Language: v8.2.552672
• Visual Studio Code: 1.63
• Business Central: BC19 Cloud

Why do you think a SaaS app cannot call an OnPrem function behind-the-scenes? It is on Microsoft's premise. OnPrem only means cloud developers can't call those functions directly, not that Microsoft's own apps cannot. The idea is to stop third parties moving around files or calling .Net or etc on Microsoft's servers - but they still need to be able to do that to implement base BC.

@dnpb is correct - the OnPrem restriction is only for apps that target Cloud. Microsoft 1st party apps themselves target OnPrem, and are able to call into OnPrem functions themselves.
