Ideas for simplification /was: RE: Single text for multiple tasks ?/

[Zmudzin,Tomasz,VEVEY,GL-IS/IT]

Gentlemen,
 
I have to admit I'm also surprised by the fix -- great thanks to Flavio.
There's one thought still lingering in my head though -- if you have 20-30
tasks rolled into 1 (or a couple), can you still reshape the workflow so as
to avoid 20-30 different steps in the workflow (with separate bindings that
need to be checked etc.)?
 
Kind regards -- and thanks for another great idea
Tomasz

Thanks all for the overwhelmingly fast response. I see that a crash intro to
sapscript is approaching very fast.... This seems to make the most sense.
 
Cheers
Mike
