SWC_CONTAINER_TO_PERSISTENT how-to?

[Mark Pyc]

G'day Rick,

It's only containers that are set to Persistent or Runtime, not business 
object attributes. It sounds like you want the business object to behave 
like a real OO object, but it doesn't.

The object can not store any values as such. Any attributes must be 
calculatable at runtime. If, for example, a method returns a value which you 
want to hang on to for later use, you need to store that value in the WF 
container. You can't force the object to hang on to a value in an attribute 
with any standard commands.

If you do need an attribute to keep a calculated values between calls then 
you'll have to stick the value in the database somewhere - normally your own 
Z-table - and read it back in the attribute.

Have fun,
Mark

I would like to set a business object attribute to persistent but don't
know how.
I want to store a value in an attribute. If that value is set, don't
get it from the WF Container.
Else get it from the WF container.

Any examples in the system I can look at?

Any help is appreciated.
