Creating a new change document object

[Carolyn Fuller]

Thank you everyone who responded to this question!
 
We will probably end up going with status management but before I
posted my question I had given up and was trying to implement a
terminating event by raising the event via a function module. I'm
still in a workflow learning curve and I've been given the luxury of
time to learn. Therefore, I want to figure out why this function
module solution works in some cases and not others before trying
another solution.
