Custom HR Event - Key not filled in certain circumstances

[Rick Bakker]

Hi Sue,

I gather from the screenshot that you have managed to replicate this
problem? That's good news,at least.
I would be very interested in what the input to HR_ASSEMBLE_OBJECTKEY is,
and I would gladly F5 my way down into its innards to see exactly why it
isn't returning a key. I assume this will eventually be fixed with a SAP
Note, if you haven't found one already.

regards
Rick Bakker
