Custom Business Object Code missing in EBP 3.5

[Alon Raskin]

Hi Sue,
 
I have seen this sort of thing when someone forgets to terminate a
string. For example, if I was coding and forget to put an end quotes
like
 
  swc_get_property self 'dafdaf lv_my var.
 
The problems is that because the "'" was not closed and then BOR object
is saved. When I looked at it, the BOR object displayed fine but when I
tried to look at the custom code in CHANGE mode, it seemed to all
dissapear. When you do this and you back out it prompts you to save. If
you do save then you have just lost all your code. If you don't then the
code can be retrieved from DISPLAY mode. My guess is that the code was
lost when your developer saved.=20
 
Definitely one to keep mind....
 
Alon

Okay, I know you are all rolling on the floor laughing, but first off,
let me add, I was not the developer that this happened to.  Really.
Secondly, this person is now trying to restore code from
who-knows-what-level and is convinced that the business object code will
re-disappear, so please, if anyone has had this happen, and it was NOT a
EBKAC, please let me know.  If this has happened, and it WAS an EBKAC,
that'd be helpful too.  The Basis folks are expending a lot of energy on
this.
(And Basis folks are my friends).
 
Thanks in advance,
Sue
