Problem using table reference on event parameter.

[Knott, Cheryl]

I am attempting to change an event parameter that has been in production for
> 4 years on release 4.0B.  The reference table is VBAPVB and there is no
reference field (the entire structure is passed).  I would like to change
the event parameter to multi-line.
 
I cannot save the multi-line change due to an error OL372 - 'Please enter
reference field'.
 
Here is the response I received from SAP:
" It is not possible to specify an event parameter as a table until later
releases. If you wish to specify a table you could use the services of
remote consulting, however, this is a billable service. See attached
notes."     (notes are 84044 and 48204 re:consulting services)
 
I had no problem changing the method or workflow task parameters to
multi-line.  They also specify only the reference table without the
reference field.
 
It seems that this must have been a capability at some point, since the
event parameter specifies only a reference table in the production system.
 
I appreciate your insight and suggestions.
 
Best Regards,
