Hi Mike,<br>
<br>
Haven't had an opportunity to dabble in the OO stuff yet but hoping to
do so soon. My question is probably is very basic OO. How do I go about
extending a standard SAP class for additional events, attributes and
methods. For instance some standard xRPM workflows are class based.<br>
<br>

Ramki Maley.<br>

additional methods. See my other post to Sherie.

<pre wrap=""><!---->Yes, and yes. Actually in many cases I've done away with the BORs because
it's a 10 minute job to add the two or three BOR components I actually
need into my class. The icing on the cake is being able to bind
_WI_ACTUAL_AGENT via functional method straight into an instance of
ZCL_WF_USER.

Usually I end up working with both, which is not really a big issue.
