Object Attributes vs Container Elements

[Raskin, Alon (Soliance)]

Yes something like that. Of course you cant call a FM directly from a
workflow, you will need to wrap it up in a method. My recommendation is to
use attributes of an object but of course this depends on the particular
details of your situation.

Thank you Alon.  I just figured out that the element idea will not work.  I
would have to use a get function module to fill the elements, right???

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???
