Maintenance program for work item and/or workflow cancellation?

[Kjetil Kilhavn]

SWWL is what I don't want to use. I didn't know the direct transaction
code, I go there via SWUF if I have to, I haven't used it the last three
years.

Kjetil,
 
   Use Tranx: SWWL, be careful how you use it you can mistakenly wipe
out all WF's.
