How can I retrieve schedule after set it in an ems program ? [closed]
I want set a schedule to 0 in january and then retrieve the schedule value specified in the schedule compact object for the others months. My problem is once the schedule value is set to 0 I am unable to retrieve the intial value for the other month. It always set to 0 for the others months.
