swc_create_object & swc_get_property Macro Commands

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Jerry, 

I don't think its the macros its more likely to be the coding sequence in the business object. Remember that we must not assume any particular order in which attributes are determined. That's the usual cause of the symptoms you describe, i.e. value missing first time around. 

So provided you have not changed the standard code under BUS4101 or created a delegated subtype look for notes and/or report the problem as a problem with the standard business object BUS4101 - ****NOT**** as a problem with the macros.  And if I were you I would create it as a new message - don't confuse it with the old one if that talks about macros.

Hi Jerry,

If you're talking about standard business object BUS4101, where does use of 
custom function modules come in to the picture?

Vijay
