Accessing object attributes in a method

[Jose Burgman]

Hi every-one
 
Sorry again for this very basic question - in defense I did the academy =
8
months ago and I've been chucked into workflow for the first time since
then. I'm creating a method and in it I want to access the attributes =
of a
method. I use the macro swc_get_element. I tried to use SELF, but the =
object
complains that it is not defined (???). I then use container, and I get =
a
sy-subrc of 8. The business object is 2038 - the coding I use is for eg
swc_get_element container 'Location' location [location is defined in a =
data
statement]. Any assistence would be appreciated.
 
Thanks for the trouble....
