If it is a row level issue, I use a Run Select command from a table containing 
all my run selects.  In your case the run select code in the table would be 
your GetProperty command on one line followed by a Recalc variables  and a 
Return statement.

Then on the "Add or Remove Tables" toolbar button>Select Tables>Table 
Settings>On Row Entry EEP edit box,

Place the following on the

Select SomeVarcharDate From SomeTableContainingYourCode wher TheRowIdentifier = 
'YourCommandName'

And the GetProperty will execute on Row Entry...
