Jocelyn,
Yes, I did it.
But somehow binding between task and method (&_ATTACH_OBJECTS& ->
&ATTACHMENTS&, &ADDRESSSTRINGS& -> &ADDRESSSTRINGS&, etc. ) always disappear
upon save button.
Definitely this is not authorisation issue since I got successful message
from SU53.
Do you think this is the root cause?
