Use of workitem id field from SAP status window

[Michael Pokraka]

A technique that works for background tasks (transactions called via
BCD) is to check SY-UNAME to see if it's WF-BATCH. Though I've a
suspicion I'm barking up the wrong tree here.
 
Would you mind letting us know what function module as I've also come
across this with online tasks.
 
Another way - if it's a custom transaction - is to populate a hidden
field via the use of parameter ID's (similar to previous suggestion).
 
Cheers
Mike
