ABSENCE.DELETED - Two new event parameters needed

[Michel Laviolette]

Wfers,
I can t seam to figure out the intricacies behind setting up additional
event container parameters. Here s the scenario:
 
Goal:
I m trying to capture the BEGUZ and ENDUZ values on the ABSENCE.DELETED
event. The container element  _EVT_OBJECT is blank as the record is nuked by
the time the event is published. I was able to parse out the _EVT_OBJKEY
values... all but BEGUZ and ENDUZ are there.
 
Agonizing route I've taken:
The ABSENCE object is delegated to my customer object ZABSENCE. I redefined
the DELETED event and added two parameters (StartTime   multiline datatype
reference for field PA2001-beguz, EndTime   multiline datatype reference for
field PA2001-enduz). I also created two matching database field attributes
(StartTime & EndTime). I created an event linkage entry for ABSENCE.DELETED
which emails me the content of the event container.
 
Test script:
Generate the object. Delete an absence record. The event is successfully
created and the email is sent. I can see all but the two new parameters
described above
 
Questions:
Am I on the right track? Do I need to write some code behind the two new
parameters? My interpretation of the documentation on the subject is that
the multiline parameters should hold both the old and the new values (index
0001 & 0002)? Is this also applicable on record deletions?
 
Please let me know if you require further details to analyse this problem.
 
Any help would be much appreciated.
