Passing objects to SWW_WI_START_SIMPLE

[Soden, John]

Hi all
 
Are there any tricks to passing an object to the FM SWW_WI_START_SIMPLE  =
in
the container table when starting a workflow template (not standard task)=
,
when I attempt to do it I get error OL 364 'element is not an object' (is=
sued
from FM SWC_CONT_CHECK). I am calling the workflow from a report using
SWC_CREATE_OBJECT to create the object and SWC_ELEMENT_SET to insert it i=
nto
the container table passed to SWW_WI_START_SIMPLE, this works fine when
starting a standard task and passing the object to container element
_WI_Object_Id, but not when passing to a manually defined container eleme=
nt
in a workflow template ?=20
 
I have actually overcome the problem by passing the key and object type t=
o
the workflow template and using system.genericinstantiate in a task to fi=
ll
the container element but am interested to know why I cannot pass it to t=
he
container in the input table of SWW_WI_START_SIMPLE. The SWC_CONT_CHECK
function fails because the manually defined element has a type 'O' wherea=
s
the system defined element (_WI_Object_Id) has type 'o'=20
 
Has anyone come across this before ?=20
 
Thanks...
