swc_create_object & swc_get_property Macro Commands

[jerry.martinek]

Hi Vijay,

The use of the custom function module comes into the picture when you write
your own function module that uses/calls the workflow macros to instantiate
an instance of BUS4101 and then use the object attributes for some evil deed
which in my case is to figure the shopping cart approvers.

For additional information refer to Appendix E "Workflow Macros" in the
book.

Regards,
Jerry Martinek

Hi Jerry,

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

Vijay
