result of agent determination rule into workflow container so that I can send
all these users reminder email once the deadline is reached. <BR><BR>In earlier
systems, it used to work fine.. but now, no values are being passed to workflow
container even though the binding is correct. I tried to apply SAP NOTE 707767

<BR><BR>any suggestions on how to fix this issue? I can always create a new step

way..<BR><BR>thanks<BR>Sudhir</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
