<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>If so, perhaps you misunderstand instance management. Workflow
calls FIND_BY_LPOR to get an instance, does its thing and ditches it. Anything
not stored in the database (or a static attribute) is lost. Next step it will
call FIND_BY_LPOR again to get a new instance. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

management (a good idea for performance reasons) or you need to populate your

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

So this is what I understand: When I tested my task I entered the key
attributes into the variable that represents my class. This object
reference is bound to the wi_Object_ID. The persistent
object reference is passed to find_by_lpor and the constructor is
executed to create the instance of the class. My instance method then
executes. As part of this execution I fill the me->zanek table with
the results from the function module. I then use
me->zanek in another method.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>When
the task is complete and I look at the workflow log,
the wi_object_ID, containing the instant object of the class
has the key attribute filled but not the table zanek. In
the method I changed the value of the key attribute belnr and it showed up
in the container reference to the class instance. So as the task
completed and executed my method it must of called bi_persistent-lpor and
updated the result parameter with my new value for me->belnr. It then
ran find_by_lpor and created a new instance with a different
value in the key parameter and passed it back to the wi_Object_ID
reference in the container. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
