<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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".</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
