<TITLE>Using BOR Object as Attribute In ABAP Class</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am creating a custom workflow for our marketing group using ABAP Classes. The main class I am dealing with is called ZCL_MKT_TRADE. We do not have HR implemented and subsequently use BOR object USR01 for agent assignments in many custom workflows and have a lot of custom methods and attributes of use to this workflow.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I need to use the trader (user) for several things in the workflow so I created an attribute on ZCL_MKT_TRADE called TRADER_BOR_OBJ that is of type BOR Object USR01 as outlined in Jocelyn's SDN BLOG. I want to use the trader for the agent assignment on a given workitem. I use "Expression" and then select &ZCL_MKT_TRADE.TRADER_BOR_OBJ.NAMEWITHLEADINGUS& as the expression. This is available in the dropdown but when I choose it I get an error saying "NAMEWITHLEADINGUS is not a component of data object TRADER_BOR_OBJ".</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Is it not possible to accomplish what I am trying to do here? I can always have the trader attribute on my class simply store the userid of the trader and then instantiate a separate USR01 BOR Object in my workflow container to host all the trader details; however, my first idea seems like better design.</FONT></P>
