That did the trick.  Thanks for all the feedback!

Hi Diane,
 
I think you slightly misunderstood:
 
You need to get the object into your container in the first place - Phil =
said that he only had the key field.
 
The technique outlined below would be done in a background task which =
would bring in the key fields from the workflow to the task to the =
import parameters of the object method.  You would then use code similar =
to that below, instantiating the object, and then returning it through =
export parameters
to the task and then to a new element in the workflow container.
 
Hope that clarifies things,
 
Mark

Why would you not want to add your business object to the WF container
and
pass it throughout your workflow.  This is a lot cleaner and easier.

If you have the key fields for an object you can use the macro
 
SWC_CREATE_OBJECT <Obj Ref of type Swc_object> <Object type in ' '>
<object
key>
 
e.g. for a material object:
 
data: lv_myobject type swc_object,
      lv_matnum like mara-matnr.
 
swc_create_object lv_myobject 'BUS1001006' lv_matnum.
 
You will obviously need to do this in something like a method on
background
task.
 
If you want to find out more about this sort of macro I would recommend
you
attend BC610 or read the help in the SAP Library - the contents of the
workflow reference documentation would answer a large chunk of the
questions
posted on this user group!
 
Cheers,

I need to populate the role container with a business object.  I do not
have
the business object in the container, but I do have the key fields for
the
business object.  Is there a way to get the business object?
