within the new(ish) Enhancement Framework. The only thing is you'd have to
generate the GUIDs for all existing records as a once-off exercise, and make
sure a GUID is generated each time a new record is created. This will however
be the case whether you use a mapping table or extend the existing one.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Yes you will either need a Z-table to map the GUID to your key, or else<br>
you can extend/enhance your table to add a field for your GUID.<br>
Use class CL_GUID_SERVICES to generate them.<br>
<br>
If you have time for a bit of a learning curve, you can also look at<br>
persistent classes (my preferred approach in most cases). You never need<br>
to touch GUIDs, the persistent class provides a DB abstraction layer that<br>
handles all DB interaction & GUID generation etc. Integrating them into a<br>
WF class is also very simple and brings a few other benefits too.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
