<DIV>Johnson,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yes. The apporval preview wont work automatically when you copy the
workflow. I had to make changes such as making it 'Adhoc' and change the
settings in workflow program exits tab. Then it is started behaving. I had to do
n-step approval and there are no BADIs for the version I am in. Next version
above 3.5 has BADI's. I do not know for sure in 5.0 when you copy a WF the
preview works automatically.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The FM you mentioned works for existing status only. My issue is to create
a new one. After that I will use the F to change the status</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
