<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

deadline, I wanted the agent assignment to be the superior of the agent
who is to execute the approval step. The problem with assigning rule 168
in the step for the deadline is that the workflow container does not contain the
result of the rule for the agent to approve the step until after it is
executed. If the step is not executed, the binding between task
and workflow is not completed. The task container contains the results of
the rule. That is why I am relying on the default rules of the task
to execute the rule 168. This binds the results from the task
to the default rule to determine the superior of the agent who is has been
chosen to execute the step. If I knew of a business object with a
method that I could use to determine successive hierarchal agents for a
initiator of a workflow I could then create an activity step to
fill these agent variables and use them in rule 168 for the
deadline. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
