CRM IPC User Functions

[Former Member]

I have a class that extends sce_user_fn that parses a user supplied characteristic and places its parts into other characteristics. I want to be able to validate that the user supplied characteristic is valid before parsing. If the user supplied characteristic is not valid I want to reset the characteristic to the default.

I have the validation code completed. However, if the validation fails I am unable to reset the characteristic. I have tried using the method scelib.set_value(ddb_inst, String, String) and <fn_args>.set_value(String, String) without success.

<b>Can anyone please help me figure out how to reset a characteristic value in a class extending sce_user_fn?</b> (Any information regarding CRM, IPC, configuration, configurator, or user functions is appreciated.)

Thanks,

Tony

PS: If I have not explained in enough detail please ask about the areas you need more.
