WF Agents

[Sheth, Neeraja]

1. We maintain the user logon on infotype 105. So I directly read the logon
and use the "User" as agent.
2. If you don't maintain logon on IT0105, you can still figure out the
position number, based on the PERNR, and define the Agent as "Position", not
"Expression". The binding with the event container will get you the PERNR in
a workflow container element. This can be passed on to your role resolution
to figure out the position of the user.

I am creating a workflow where I need to capture a numerical type field that
identifies who my agent will be.  This field is an SAP Z field, showing the
supervisors ID.  This is the same number that is assigned to the
individual's name in HR called the personnel number.  How can I pick this up
and use it as an agent to receive notification of WI.  I tried using the
field as an expression but I get an error that says Expression '&' has an
invalid type or reference.  Error Diagnosis states, my expression entered
has a data type reference that cannot accept organizational objects.  Error
Procedure tells me to Use an expression that can accept organizational
objects.  Not sure what I need to do.  Can anyone help me to determine how
to capture a field from an event container and use it as an agent.  This
same type data shows up in a another field on the same screen of which I
have and am using a standard role to forward workitems.  However my customer
wants to pick the data up from the other field.  Any suggestions??
