Arguments
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
objSymbol |
The object type or current object type of the data.
Note: Use empty quotation marks to indicate the current symbol of the workflow.
|
CreateRule |
The created rule that is associated with the object must be provided. |
CopyMethod |
The copy method associated with the create rule value must be provided. |
codeSegments |
The hashtable containing the code segment names with the create rule value.
Note: Pass an empty hashtable if there are no code segments tagged to the create Rule.

Description
CreateObjectUsingCreateRule creates a new object with the help of Create Rule internally by calling the Create Data using Create Rule API.
Example
In this example, a new Trade Item object is created using Create Rule.
Dim newKey As String = ""
Dim sItemDescription As String = ""
Dim htCodeSegments As Hashtable = new Hashtable()
htCodeSegments.Add("Company Prefix","000002")
htCodeSegments.Add("GTIN Type","GTIN-12")
htCodeSegments.Add("GTIN Template","FOOD")
Dim saveStatus as long = 0
saveStatus = CreateObjectUsingCreateRule("TRADEITEM","NEW TRADE ITEM","NEW TRADE ITEM",htCodeSegments,newKey)
Create a Trade Item using create rule - NEW_TRADE_ITEM, copy method - NEW_TRADE_COPY.
string newKey = "";
Hashtable htCodeSegments = new Hashtable();
htCodeSegments.Add("Company Prefix", "000002");
htCodeSegments.Add("GTIN Type", "GTIN-12");
htCodeSegments.Add("GTIN Template", "FOOD");
long createStatus = CreateObjectUsingCreateRule("TRADEITEM", "NEW TRADE ITEM", "NEW TRADE COPY", htCodeSegments, ref newKey);
Create an Item using create rule - NEW_ITEM, copy method - NEW_ITEM_COPY.
string newKey = "";
Hashtable htCodeSegments = new Hashtable();
long createStatus = CreateObjectUsingCreateRule("ITEM", "NEW_ITEM", "NEW_ITEM_COPY", htCodeSegments, ref newKey);
