Hello Sheldon,
Profuse thanks..got it to work using the call transaction. For my future edification so I do not have to ask such basic questions again would the SUBMIT and RETURN feature be in place of the CALL TRANSACTION .
Thanks again.
regards
David Dittmer

If you use CALL TRANSACTION using BDC_TAB with MESSAGES INTO itab, then the
transaction messages can be retrieved from internal table itab.
Instead, if you use SUBMIT AND RETURN with EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY, you
can retrieve the basic list from ABAP Memory using standard function
modules such as LIST_FROM_MEMORY.
Thank you.

Thank you Sheldon. Problem solved...after calling the transaction the
transaction returns to the method...one question I have is how would the
method get the returned details from the transaction....would it be
necessary to populate a container in the SAVE transaction function.
regards

Hi David,
Yes, the return to your method and to the workflow should be automatic and
work just fine.
If the recipient executes the work item from their inbox, and if this
executes your method in the task that calls a transaction, then the
transaction will return to the method when it is completed. The method
would get the returned details from the transaction. Is this where you are
having a problem?
Depending on the checkboxes you use in your workflow step, when your method
is completed the workflow will display a screen for the recipient to click
that "they are done with the work item" and then the workflow will continue
to your sub-workflow. Is this where you are having a problem?
Regards.

Hello Michael,
This is not a binding issue. I am calling a transaction in a task which the
recipient must execute the transaction and save in the inbox and after
saving it must return to the workflow to continue where I have set up a
sub-workflow.
Its this returning to the workflow that I am querying.
Thank you for replying

David,
Sorry if I'm wasting your (and anyone else who reads this)'s time, but are
we talking about the basics of "workflow bindings" here, or is there some
complication or detail I missed in your email? If you are not familiar
with the term "binding" as it relates to SAP workflow, I would guess we are
talking about binding basics...;-)

Call transaction needs to
return to workflow
Hello Experts,
I have designed a workflow where a transaction is called and after the
recipient has completed the transaction, details need to be returned to the
workflow so that further steps can be completed.
I am calling the transaction in a method but how would I ensure that the
details from the completion of the transaction are returned to the
workflow. ideally I would want to capture the details in the method after
completing the transaction.
I am sure this is really a basic step so apologize for asking but it just
seems a roadblock at the moment.
Thanks
