Setting user name

[matasa]

Hello,
With the help of different examples I found I'm able to create compounds document and the document underneath with the correct category I want ... excepted user name fields.
Which lead to error "101103" from CreateObjectEx.

To set this field I use:
(...)
LLValue attrValuesb = new LLValue().setList();

attrValuesb.add(args[1]);
if(attr.AttrSetValues(catVersion,"Author",attr.ATTR_DATAVALUES, attrValPath, attrValuesb) != 0)
{
System.out.println("AttrSetValues Failed."); return;
}
(...)
Then there is the call to CreateObjectEx:
status = doc.CreateObjectEx(volumeID,objectID2,LAPI_DOCUMENTS.OBJECTTYPE,LAPI_DOCUMENTS.COMPOUNDDOCUMENTSUBTYPE,"MyOwnCompoundDoc_"+fina,createInfo,objectInfo);

which fails.

I also tried ATTR_TYPE_USER without greater succes. When I set manually an existing user name on web interface it works. When I push the same user name thru the API it does not work.
Maybe I'm missing something, any hint will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Greg for your answer,
I was ablee to create the category, but when I create adocument (say a compound document) and i want to attach a category, if I want to set a user field it fails whereas other such as text or integer or even date are fine. Maybe user field has something special I don't master.
Thanks.

I used the userid as an integer because that is how livelink stores it internally.I rigged up this quick and dirty sample in case you want to see what I did.

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

Userid as an integer, it was the trick, I should have known it

It works now, thank you very much for your help.
