getRequest()
This function can be used if the request must be forwarded to another business object, but the method is not a batch method. Do not use this for batch methods, because in that case the request is available as an input parameter. Do not change the request or its contents; instead use replaceBdeNameInRequest(), or duplicate the request before changing it.
long getRequest()
Input: none.
Output:
return value: reference to the request XML, 0 in case of error.
