# SW_MODIFY_CASEDATA

By using the `SW_MODIFY_CASEDATA` procedure, you can modify the data of an existing case. Use an SW_ADD_PACK_DATA procedure to specify the data to be modified. Then, an immediately following `SW_MODIFY_CASEDATA` posts an instruction to the BG process to carry out the change. You can use the `SW_MODIFY_CASEDATA` procedure to set case data for main procedures and sub-procedures.

This event is audited, using audit message 058. See TIBCO iProcess Engine Administrator’s Guide for details of audit messages.

## Syntax

    SW_MODIFY_CASEDATA (
            proc_namevarchar(8),proc_maj_verinteger,proc_min_verinteger,case_numbernumeric(20),reasonvarchar(24), user_idvarchar(24))

where:

| • | `proc_name` is the name of the procedure that you want to modify a case of.

| • | `proc_maj_ver` is either the major version number of the `proc_name` procedure, or `-1`. See the notes .

| • | `proc_min_ver` is either the minor version number of the `proc_name` procedure, or `-1`. See the notes .

| • | `case_number` is the case number of the main procedure for which the data is to be modified.

| • | `reason` is a reason for the case data modification, used in the audit trail.

| • | `user_id` is the name of the iProcess user who is performing the modification.

## Notes

Instead of using the specific major and/or minor version number of the procedure, you can specify both the `proc_maj_ver` and `proc_min_ver` parameters as `-1`. If you do this, iProcess will use the version number of the procedure that the case was originally started with or, that it has subsequently been migrated to (if a subsequent version has been released while the case is still in progress).

Note | If you specify one version number parameter as `-1`, you must specify the other one as `-1` as well.

## Example

This example modifies data for case `876` of the `Transfer` procedure. The `SW_ADD_PACK_DATA` statement changes the value of the `TEXT1` field to "`New customer name`". The `SW_MODIFY_CASEDATA` call then identifies the procedure and case to be changed, and provides the "`Modified For Graft`" message which will be displayed in the audit trail.

    CALL swpro.SW_ADD_PACK_DATA('TEXT1', 'New customer name')/
    CALL swpro.SW_MODIFY_CASEDATA('Transfer', -1, -1, 876, 'Modified For Graft', 'swadmin')/
