APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
put_value method. Further investigation showed that this method, of all the 'put...' methods, takes a BSTR* parameter instead of a straight BSTR parameter. This is incorrect behavior for a few reasons: 1) This means that the value is passed by address, and may cause later issues if the value 'disappears' (depending on how the assignment in this method works under the covers) 2) It is inconsistent with the other 'put...' methods. 3) It seems that there is no way to get the compiler to accept ANY definition of this COM method.
