SWC_GET_MANAGER' function module

[Kimball, Schuyler]

Hi Monica,
To populate the container for checking the workflow initiator's manager, try the following in your attribute:
 
  data: l_wf_initiator type wfsyst-initiator.
  swc_get_element container '_wf_initiator' l_wf_initiator.
 
  swc_set_element my_container 'org_object' l_wf_initiator.
  call function 'swx_get_manager'
  ...
 
I think this should work, but since I haven't tested it out, YMMV.

Thank you all for replying to my question about the 'SWX_GET_MANAGER'
function module.
Sue- I actually wrote 'swc' instead of 'swx' so you are right.
 
Jocelyn - I did use the code that you had mentioned in your reply
swc_set_element my_container 'org_object' ususername
call function 'swx_get_manager'
 
I actually created an attribute and between the "get propery" and "end
property" I am calling the function module.  Right now I am manually
entering the us and the user name eg.
 
swc_set_element my_container 'org_object' ussmith
 
and I am getting right results. But instead of manually entering us and the
username I want the userid of the initiator or the event creator in there.
How do I specify the username of the wf-initiator?
 
How do I specify that I need the manager of the wf_initiator.  How do I get
that information out of the event container.  I have looked at the help in
the system but not been able to figure it out.  So really what I want in
that result of this attribute is the manager of the wf-initiator or the
event creator.
 
How would I accomplish that?
 
I would appreciate  if you shed some light on this.
 
Thanks .
 
Regards,
Monica
