Help, need user name for wf initiator in the task text

[Sunni sunni]

Hi
 
 
The instance-independent method USR01.FINDUSERFROMAGENTSTRUCTURE does not
return anything.
I created a new method for USR01 with the following code and an import
parameter called agent and an export parameter called name:
 
BEGIN_METHOD ZGETUSERNAME CHANGINGCONTAINER.
DATA:
ZGETUSERNAME(255),
     Agent like wfsyst-agent,   "import parameter contains wf_initiator
     NAME LIKE ADDR3_VAL-NAME_TEXT.  "attribute containing name
                                      "export
 
swc_get_element container 'Agent' Agent.  "import
SWC_GET_PROPERTY SELF 'Name'Name.
swc_set_element container 'Name' Name.   "export
 
SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER RESULT Name.  "ZGETUSERNAME.
 
END_METHOD.
 
 
 
When I test this method, I get the export parameters Result and Name filled
with the user name correctly.
When I attach this method to a background task and do the bindings I get
nothing back into the task container variables, which have the same data
type.
 
Any ideas why?
 
Cheers
Sunni
