Make sure to forward the event.
This event can be used to perform any additional processing required for a new record.

This message is always called in a locked state. Do not perform user input in this event.
If you move data into an unrelated table during Creating, you may have to use Add_System_File to make sure the table is properly locked.
If an Error is declared, the transaction will be rolled back. Errors must be generated using the Error command. See Error Handling in Transactions for more information.
When accessing table values you should always access the global file buffers and not the DDO buffers (i.e., use "Move File.Field to var" syntax). See Understanding File Buffers and DDO Field Buffers for more information.
