AW: Created Task/Method is not working

[Ulrich Mende]

Hi Simone / Weidong,
I fully agree with Simone, that one should be carefully about correct
names of container variables in the SWC-macros. But: they are not case
sensitive. Somewhere deep down in the FMs called by macro
swc_get_element there is a statement "translate element to upper case".
 
But I just wanted to add one comment to your problem, Weidong:
It seams to me, that you need a string as a funtion of the material type
of a material.
Why not use a virtual property instead a method for that?
Your objecttype BUS1001006 has a database property "MaterialType" which
is inherited by your subtype and can be used to get the MatType of your
material.
The code of the virtual property could look something like this:
 
GET_PROPERTY ADDRESS CHANGING CONTAINER.
  data: mattype like mara-mtart.
  SWC_GET_PROPERTY SELF 'MaterialType' mattype.
  if mattype = 'ZERP'.
    OBJECT-ADDRESS = 'SHIPMAT'.
  elseif mattype = 'ZERB'.
    OBJECT-ADDRESS = 'PRODCAT'.
  endif.
  SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'address' OBJECT-ADDRESS.
END_PROPERTY.
 
Doing so you would not need a task at all, you could get the
adress-string in a simple container assignment like
           address-variable = materialref.address
or use it directly somewhere in the binding of your send mail task.
 
Best regards Uli
