modify container elements of running work items

[skidmore.s@pg.com]

Hello Fellow Workflowers,
 
Recently we went live with a new workflow process.  Unfortunately we did not
create all of the needed bindings.  While this is not causing an ERROR in the
workitem, it is causing significant slow-downs in the process.  We have
corrected the binding, but would like to try and clean-up the existing workflow
items.
 
Can we modify the value for the container element for those existing workitems?
It's an instance of the IMAGE business object, and so far I have tried manually
changing the value of the container element without success (always receive an
SAP ArchiveLink error message).  Is there perhaps an SAP function module I can
use?  I am on 4.5B.
 
Thanks,
Sheldon Skidmore
