Object Attributes vs Container Elements

[Raskin, Alon (Soliance)]

Definitely apples and organges. Creating container elements doesn't
automatically put the values in the elements. You will still need to get the
values from somewhere (either from an attribute or a method). SAP tends to
recommend using attributes rather then methods due to the overhead in
calling a method. As far as I am aware there is not limit on attributes.

Good morning all!!!  I need an answer to a workflow question from an
experienced workflower.  I need to get data from a workflow that is not
listed as part of the object attributes.  I can do this one of two ways and
need to know which is best from a maintenance and a performance standpoint.
1) I can create additional object attributes.  To which I ask is there a
limit on these? or 2) I can create container elements using the table names.
Which is best? or am I mixing apples and oranges???
