to make your CL object a private attribute of the BOR object. Use a FORM routine

<p class=MsoNormal>Mike & Florin,<br>
thanks very much for explanation. Initially I was using CL object in BOR
method locally. As I am using the same object in different methods (steps),
thought of passing object reference from first step…I will switch back to my
previous code. May be I will do more experiments in next phases..<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Couple of comments: <br>
<br>
1) OO works with limitations on 620, but is not officially supported by SAP.<br>
<br>
<br>
3) To be absolutely painfully specific here, the original question didn't<br>
say the aim was to store the object in the container. It is possible to use<br>
a class without IF_WORKFLOW in workflow as long as it isn't stored. <br>
<br>
Thus a binding of class-based objects OBJ1.OBJ2.ATTR ==> SOME_ELEMENT is<br>
possible if OBJ2 doesn't have IF_WORKFLOW, because only OBJ1 and<br>
SOME_ELEMENT live in the containers. This of course all falls apart when<br>
bringing BOR into the mix. <br>
<br>
Generally speaking I agree with Florin and would not recommend mixing BOR<br>
and classes in this way. Class->BOR is fine, but BOR->Class - although<br>
technically possible - is fraught with problems because the BOR design<br>
doesn't cater for classes (however it is no problem to use OO ABAP inside<br>
BOR code). I would either build on the BOR object, or mostly I create a<br>
class to replace it completely.<br>
<br>
Cheers, <br>
Mike<br>

Hi Sharath,<br>
<br>
1) ... hm... didn't realize that OO-Workflow works on 4.7 already (stable).<br>
Try using ABAP reference type SIBFLPOR<br>
<br>
2) If you cannot define the parameter as CL -Object, the macro will try to<br>
convert the runtime-reference of a BO to a persistent reference of the BO,<br>
which has to fail for obvious reasons. If using the ABAP-Dic-Reference, then<br>
it won't be a problem<br>
<br>
3) Yes, the workflow cannot store OO-Object in the container, unless you've<br>
fully implemented the interface<br>
<br>
....<br>
<br>
Anyhow, from my perspective it looks like you should keep using a new<br>
business object implementation and not using the OO-part for the moment.<br>
Maybe you give some explanation of how and why you like to use this kind of<br>
container/implementation.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
Florin<br>
