Workflow Forms

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Rick, Use SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER passing the wi-id of the workflow (not the work item!).
Just don't expect to use SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER.... as per my document mentioned in the SAP Insider article Alan mentioned in an earlier post.

        Jocelyn,
 
        I am particularly intrigued by your option #2 (* Pass over enough info in your flat ...)
 
        I would like to go back to the workflow container and read the multiline elements, however the standard SWC_GET_TABLE command will not work in the PBO Module of the form.
 
        Can you explain how the data can be retrieved ?
 
        Rick

        Rick,
        Yes a form step uses a flat structure - no multilines - no complex structures.
 
        If you want to use more complex values then you have a couple of options:
 
        * Use multiple individually named elements in your flat structure, e.g. row1field1, row1field2, row2field1, etc.
        (not ideal but practical)
 
        * Pass over enough info in your flat structure to go back and read the multiline detail from the workflow container
        Note: **workflow** container not workitem - the form step talks directly to the workflow container.
 
        * Hold the mutliline data in a custom table and pass over sufficient key data to access the custom table from the form
 
        Use the flow logic of the form step screen to retrieve the necessary data.

        I remember reading somewhere that the structure had to be a "flat" structure to be used in a form - I took this to mean data elements only - I will be watching to see if that is not the case.

        Thank you Jim, but perhaps I wasn't clear with my question.
        Let me try again.
        There is a new FORM element in workflow for the Enterprise release. I have only been able to get the form to work on a container element that is defined by a structure but is not multilined.
 
        I have multilined container elements in my workflow that I would like to create a form around, but the FORM element doesn't seem to recognize the container element if it is multilined.
 
        My question is, has anyone been able to use the form element with a multilined container?
 
        Rick

        Hey Rick ,
        I just got through creating an object to pull in workflow log via
        container. This container element
        is multi-line. You have to make sure the object uses the swc_set_table
        container instead of the set element.
        Otherwise it will not write multi line.

        Hi Fellow Workflowers,
 
        There are some additional workflow steps added with R/3 Enterprise. One of
        which is a FORM step. This step relies on a predefined structure as a
        workflow container element.
        I have had success generating forms with a container element who's
        structure is NOT multilined, however I have not had any success with
        multiline elements.
        I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with this step. Any tips
        and tricks for using multiline containers ?
