Error in Component Interface CI_PERSONAL_DATA

Question

Hi, I am making an import of data with CI_PERSONAL_DATA, but is generating an error in the Peoplecode PERSON.EMPLID.SaveEdit:
/* Use LAST_NAME since NAME won't have been populated if called from a CI */
If %Mode = "A" Then
   &CIName = %CompIntfcName;
   If None(&CIName) Then
      &PriName = FetchValue(NAME_TYPE_VW.EMPLID, 1, NAMES.NAME, 1);
   Else
      &PriName = FetchValue(NAME_TYPE_VW.EMPLID, 1, NAMES.LAST_NAME, 1);
   End-If;
   If None(&PriName) Then
      Error MsgGet(1000, 887, "Message Not Found");
   End-If;
End-If;
The problem is that I asign value to the NAMES.LAST_NAME field, but this code does not pass this validation  "If None(&PriName) then"
Thanks in advance

I experienced weird behaviour with CI's w.r.t. PeopleCode execution and default values too.
If you're using a CI, all validations are executed on submitting it, so values are not necessarily the same in the CI fields as on screen. My guess is that the "FetchValue" you call, does not yet return the name you set, because it uses some obscure derived field that is populated on the page but not through your CI.
