[David Weston]

Hi folks,
 
I am having a challenging time retrieving a multiline object attribute from
the MESSAGE business object. The attribute I am trying to retrieve is the
attribute called 'Recipients' from the business object MESSAGE but am
having no success. So I thought I would ask the Workflow BOR experts.
 
Anyway here's my code, which I think is OK but you never know:
 
BEGIN_METHOD FINDPOSTMASTER CHANGING CONTAINER.
DATA:
      recipient_list type swc_object occurs 0,
      wa_recipient type swc_object,
      recipient_value like soli-line,
      POSTMASTER LIKE SYST-DBSYS,
      OFFICEDOCUMENT TYPE SWC_OBJECT.
 
SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'OfficeDocument' OFFICEDOCUMENT.  ==> MESSAGE
object
 
* Set Postmaster export parameter from Recipient object
SWC_GET_TABLE_PROPERTY OFFICEDOCUMENT 'Recipients' recipient_list. ==>
fails with rc=4
 
loop at recipient_list into wa_recipient from 1 to 1.
 
  SWC_GET_PROPERTY wa_recipient 'Value' recipient_value.
  postmaster = recipient_value+0(10).
 
endloop.
 
SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Postmaster' POSTMASTER.
END_METHOD.
 
The OFFICEDOCUMENT is the object reference to the MESSAGE object and is
returned correctly.
 
If anyone has any ideas why the SWC_GET_TABLE_PROPERTY returns a return
code of 4 that would be great. Ultimately I am trying to retrieve the Value
attribute from the RECIPIENT business object. I have a nasty feeling it may
be due to persistence.
 
Cheers
