I want to see what the shipping cost of a transaction would be after changing the shipping method (without actually saving the record).
I am loading a transaction in dynamic mode and setting shipmethod. Then I am trying to get the shipping cost.
If I try get `altshippingcost` the value doesn't update.
If I try getting the field `shippingcost` it does update, but I am not sure if that is the correct amount that I want.

2 questions.
1. What is the difference between shippingcost and altshippingcost?
2. Is there a way to get the updated value of altshippingcost
