Not logged on at the moment, but is SWC_OBJECT the runtime object ID, or the 
persistent object ID (the structure with a 70-character object key field)? 
I think the persistent one may be called SWOTOBJID. There is a macro to 
convert between the two types of references. 
You will always use a persistent ID for any object ID that is stored e.g. in 
the workflow container, the runtime object ID is (only?) used when calling a 
method or querying an attribute using the macros.

If you are using the runtime ID it makes sense that you can not modify it, 
because these ID's are only valid within a session.
