<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=672431115-17112006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Thank you for raising an interesting question. Here is what
I have found based on my tests (on Basis 620):</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=672431115-17112006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>1. I see the same thing as you saw about the
fact: When we have Step A followed by Step B and we want to allow
the agent to execute Step B's work item immediately after completing
Step A's workitem, without having to return to the inbox, we
must check the </FONT> <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Advance
with dialog indicator on Step B, not on Step A. I guess that this behavior has
been so with earlier releases.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=672431115-17112006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>2. It seems that SAP does not allow the dialog chain
feature when Step B uses an async task. With an async task, the indicator is
always checked and grayed out, and I have to go back to the inbox to
execute Step B's workitem. I do not understand why SAP has chosen to do it this
way. (If the the <FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000
size=3> </FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Advance with dialog
indicator were to be done on Step A instead of Step B, SAP would have good
reason not allow the feature when Step A uses an async
task.)</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

"advance with dialog" switch<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Hello</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>First of all we did some experimenting with the advance
with dialog switch. Some parts of the sap help indicate that this switch
has it's effect on the next task however we see that it has it's effect on the
task it is activated (or deactivated) on. Does somebody know if this
behaviour been changed between the various releases?</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>(we are on 620)</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif
size=2>The reason we've been tinkering with it is the following: We have an
(older) task in the system where this switch has been activated on and we wish
to deactivate it as it shouldn't start immediately after the previous task.
However this switch is grayed out in change mode so we are unable to
deactivate it. The only possible reason (difference with others) we see is
that this task executes an asynchronious method. Anybody have an idea how
we could manipulate the switch? (without doing it on table level)
Does anybody have a logical reason for graying out this field?</FONT>
