standard events. The events sit in the event queue up to six minutes
before they are delivered. When the workflow starts, it has a wait step
for 10 seconds and then a task to instantiate the object. Even after all
of that, we <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>sometimes</span></b> get the
error where it is not seeing the EESUBGROUP attribute of the object. It
doesn’t happen all the time, just once or twice a month. That is
what is so frustrating….I cannot put my finger on what might be
happening.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

changed it to SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER ‘EESubgroup’ OBJECT-EESUBGROUP
instead of SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER ‘EESubgroup’ EESUBGROUP (where
EESUBGROUP is defined in the Data statement). I’ll see if that
