@GetDocField and @SetDocField in Same Field Returns Unusable Value

Technote Number: 1085201


Problem:
The @GetDocField and @SetDocField will not function if they are in the same
field formula unless another @SetDocField precedes them. So, the order would
look like this:

@SetDocField; then @GetDocField;. then @SetDocfield.

This issue was reported to Lotus Quality Engineering and was addressed in Notes
5.0.4 Client.

Excerpt from the Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino Release 5.0.4 QMR fix list:

Design - Formulas
SPR# BROS3VCPEV - Fixed problem where @GetDocField would return unusable value
when document was saved with the Notes Client. [5.0.4]

Supporting Information:

Other Workarounds:

- Perform this function using LotusScript language entirely.
- Perform the operations directly on the parent document, using @SetField.
- Run an agent that will initialize all of the documents with a certain value
using @SetDocField. Then later you can run an agent that will do the
@GetDocField / @SetDocField combination successfully on only the documents that
need it.
