Document templates in workflow: Multi-line containers

[Roehlen, Peter]

Jocelyn and Arnoud,
 
Thanks for your responses.  I've read the help files and had a look at the
example function (in 4.6B), but I'm still having trouble relating this
(alternative binding) to putting links into a document template (eg Word
Document).  I can see how this could be used to extract elements of a
multiline container and pass it from a workflow template to a standard task,
but I can't see how to embed the element into the word document.
 
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
 
Regards

Hi Jocelyn,
 
Just would like to add that the alternative binding can only be accessed
from the context menu! This means go into the binding editor and right click
somewhere on the dialog box. If you are using the quick-cut-and-paste option
of the SAP GUI the context menus are suppressed. It is against the style
guide of SAP to put functions in a context menu that are not available
somewhere else on the screen....
 
Best regards, Arnoud

Hi Peter,
To reference the individual entries in the container element
try using the "alternative binding" option on the workflow step.
This allows you to pass the mulitline container element into a
function module and manipulate that prior to/after calling your task,
e.g. select the entry/attribute you want to deal with and pass that to the
task.
Have a look at example function module SWA_TEMPLATE_EXECUTE_DATAFLOW
and read the R/3 library doco - a search on "alternative binding" should
find the relevant sections.

Hi all,
 
We're on version 4.6B and we have had several requirements to use the
document template feature in the workflow builder.  In some of these
requirements we wish to create links to multi-line container elements that
are of a business object type in the office document.  However, when linking
to multi-line containers, you seem to be only able to reference the whole
container - not the individual attributes/fields of each line(s).
 
Has anyone had this problem before and found any solutions?  Thanks in
advance.
