Variant can't contain a Records Company information

Got issues with recordref with other companies in BC together with variants. How can I get this fixed ?

Working with a lot of RecordRef's and variants. Found out today that RecordRef do have CurrentCompany, but it doesn't work if the assignment to RecordRef comes from an variant and not the record itself.

Example code;

trigger OnOpenPage()

var

    customer: Record Customer;

    recordref: RecordRef;

    variant: Variant;

begin

    customer.ChangeCompany('OTHER COMP');

    recordref.GetTable(customer);

    Message(recordref.CurrentCompany);

 

    clear(recordref);

    variant := customer;

    recordref.GetTable(variant);

    Message(recordref.CurrentCompany);

end;

First message is correct company (OTHER COMP). second message will be current company and not OTHER COMP.
