<TITLE>Check if tran being called by Workflow</TITLE>

<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">I'm on 4.0B and I've got a transaction =
that is executed manually by users outside of workflow and then this =
same transaction is sent to users as a work item within a workflow =
process (for both it's a change transaction). Within the workflow =
process I want to do some validation on data entered by the user in the =
transaction, but I don't want to do this validation when the =
transaction is called by users outside of workflow (this transaction is =
used in two different business processes where the data requirements =
are different).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">I've been able to implement a user =
exit within the transaction so I can do my validation. I ran both =
the transaction within workflow and outside of workflow and did a =
debug. I looked at the system fields (SYST) to see if there was =
any field I can use to let me know if the transaction was being called =
within workflow. The only one that seemed to stand out to me was =
SY-CALLD: within workflow it's "X" and outside of workflow =
it's blank.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">This seems to work but I thought I'd =
ask you workflow experts to see if there's any problems with how I'm =
doing this or if there's a better way.</FONT></P>
