Description

When you have a Location variable, you must assign a location name to it. You do this by using the GetLocation function. The parameter indicates an existing location, that is, a GeneXus main object must exist with that value in the Location property, or the Name property for Web Services.

&Location = getlocation(!'ExtObjectName')

In case of using Modules, the locationName should be ModuleName_ExternalObjecName, something like this:

&Location = getlocation(!'Module_ExtObjectName')
