Looping through a multiline container element

[Bruce Miller]

I modified a function to do this.
 
 
FUNCTION SWE_MODIFY_EVENT_CNTN_DIVISION.
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------
*"*"Local interface:
*"       IMPORTING
*"             VALUE(CHANGE_DOC_OBJECT) LIKE  SWEVCDCOU1-CDOBJECTCL
*"             VALUE(OBJTYPE) LIKE  SWETYPECOU-OBJTYPE
*"             VALUE(OBJKEY) LIKE  SWEINSTCOU-OBJKEY
*"             VALUE(EVENT) LIKE  SWETYPECOU-EVENT
*"       TABLES
*"              EVENT_CONTAINER STRUCTURE  SWCONT
*"              CHANGEDOCUMENT_POSITION STRUCTURE  CDPOS OPTIONAL
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------
* retrieves old division after change for workflow.
 
INCLUDE <CNTN01>.
 
DATA: BEGIN OF DIV_TABLE OCCURS 2,
        DIV LIKE MARA-SPART,
      END OF DIV_TABLE.
 
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------
* container element <division> is a multi-line element.
* when the division is changed in table MARA, the WF automatically
* puts the new division in line one and the old division in line two.
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
DO 2 TIMES.
*  SWC_GET_TABLE <Container>     <Element>  <TableVariable>.
   SWC_GET_TABLE EVENT_CONTAINER 'Division' DIV_TABLE.
   APPEND DIV_TABLE.
ENDDO.
 
READ TABLE DIV_TABLE INDEX 2.
* puts old division value in 'OldDivision' WF container
SWC_SET_ELEMENT EVENT_CONTAINER
                'OldDivision' DIV_TABLE-DIV.
*  (doesn't work) 'OldDivision' changedocument_position-value_old.
 
ENDFUNCTION.

Hi workflow experts -
 
I am looking to loop through a multiline container element & process each
element in the table sequentially.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to
how best I can do this?  I've looked at dynamic circular wizards - but this
is a background task.
 
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - thanks!
Abby  :)
