Background method error Access 'C' is not valid for verb type 'A'

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi David,
Definitely always use the macros for container changes -
even if it seems the same now you never know what's going to
change when you upgrade and there have been some fairly dramatic
changes in container storage in the latest releases.
 
For your current problem - check the spelling of your output
parameter "Positions" including case (yes I know it shouldn't be
case-sensitive but even so...) and that it is marked as an
export parameter for your method and that it has data definition
WF_syst-act_agent as per your variable.
 
Also check your method is synchronous of course.

Thanks Jocelyn, afraid there's nothing wrong with that...seems to be a
problem
with the swc_set_element on the 'Positions' element.
I commented this swc-set out and the task completed OK.....I'm looking at
that now.
Any other ideas ? I did try what you suggested just to make sure but the
method still
errors.
 
Thanks again.
 
Dave
