Object-Key retrieval in subtype

[Becker, Stephan]

Object-key as substructure must be filled. Whether sub-substructures like
object-key-number are filled in all cases is another matter. Try working
with object-key. If that is not filled at runtime, your object is not
implemented properly.

One more thing, in debug mode if I display the table "OBJECT", I see
"_handle" is populated with a numeric value, "_objecttypename" has the value
ZU1_FORMAB, but "key-number" is blank.

You don't need to do anything, you always have the object key in
"object-key". The macro you're using is for handling "non-self" objects.

Asunto: Object-Key retrieval in subtype
 
Not sure if my question is specifically delegation related - SuperType to
SubType - but I am unable to access the Object Key within my subtype.  The
key field is empty/blank.
 
I created a subtype, ZU1_FORMAB, from SAP delivered object type FORMABSENC.
Within my subtype I have created a new method.  Within the implementation
program of my subtype I need to reference the FORMNUMBER, which is the key
for the object type FORMABSENCE, and thus, the key for my subtype ZU1_FORMAB
as well.  I need this key value, FORMNUMBER, in order to execute my new
method.  Prior to the call of my new method I have the following statement:
 
SWC_GET_OBJECT_KEY SELF FORMNUMBER.
 
I find that this macro calls function SWO_OBJECT_ID_GET, and returns a
structure, SWOTOBJID.  This structure has the field OBJTYPE filled with
ZU1_FORMAB, but the OBJKEY value returned is empty/blank.  I have made the
necessary delegation entry where FORMABSENC is the object type, and
ZU1_FORMAB is the delegation type.
 
Any suggestions you have as to how to retrieve or find the Object-key would
be much appreciated.
