step<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the 'Practical Workflow for SAP' bible, page 349 dicusses the use of
simple forms with a 'form' step. It advises generating a single dynpro and
then using a PBO module to alter the screen depending on the context. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a form that I wish to present to different users at different points
in the workflow, but I cannot work out how to access the workitem that called
the form (e.g. to get the Task ID). I've looked at the PBO and PAI modules
that are generated with the screen, but these just seem to access the workflow
container rather than the workitem's. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Does anyone know how I can differentiate the context of one call to the
form from another within the PBO of the screen?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Andrew</DIV></BODY></HTML>
