Concatenate User for Expression

[Griffiths, Mark]

Workflow agents should always be 14 characters long e.g.:
 
2 characters e.g. US; C ; S ; O ;
12 Characters e.g. SmithJ      ; 50000107=20
 
Make your field like wfsyst-agent (or on of the other WFSYST fields).
 
Another thing you could consider is converting your userid into the =
USR01 object (use the swc_create_object macro) and then this has lots =
of great attributes like name with preceding US and display name.  =
Related to this you can often get these sorts of objects from container =
elements like workitem and then attributes such as executedby - try =
binding these back from your steps.

Hello,
 
I believe it has to be quite a simple task but right now I=B4m totally =
lost.
I have an element in my workflow container called UNAME
now I use a step to concatenate a user-id (retrieved from a table in a
previous step)
and US into the container elment UNAME.
 
        data:      personresponsible type csks-verak .
 
          swc_get_element container 'UNAME' personresponsible.
 
        concatenate 'US' personresponsible(18) into personresponsible.
          swc_set_element container 'UNAME' personresponsible.
 
But if I take a look at the container after this step,
element User just contains US and not the rest of the string.
I tested the coding in Abap an the concatenation works fine.
 
What am I missing?
 
Thankx for your help and patience
