<div>Mike,</div> <div>Thnak you, Will follow your direction. My major problem is to obtain the proper authorization first...</div> <div> </div> <div>I'll create a transaction with a Z Program which calles the SAP_WAPI_ADM_WORKFLOW_CANCEL function module and transport it to Production to cancel those workitems. In the mean time will also set up the terminate event for the task. Hope this will cover both Past & Future problems... </div> <div> </div> <div>Love this SAP-WUG...</div> <div> </div> <div>Jimmy <BR><BR><B><I>Mike Pokraka <asap@workflowconnections.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="Microsoft Word 12 (filtered medium)" name=Generator> <STYLE> v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} .shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
