Cannot bind BOR attributes of classes to BOR Elements

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Good oh Mike. 

Not heard of type groups? Shame - been around since what? 4.0? 
And the requirement for  SIBFLPORB format is correct, believe I even
stumbled across it in the SAP Library help at one stage, but its
quicker to look at existing examples. 

By the way, if you have problems with using functional methods in the
long text
of work items please report it.  Believe its a bug as they work fine
everywhere else.

Hehe, yep I just went through the same hoops. It gets very painful when
you have to do the debug hack every time you activate the flow.

HOWEVER, I just found the answer, almost as nasty:
It has to be a SIBFLPORB, not SWOTOBJID, and has to be a constant
attribute of a class. Use a type group (yep, first time I've heard of
them) to populate it with the initial values of BO and your object type
(BUS9999). The bonus is that the binding editor understands it and you
can
drill down from class to class through to the BO's attributes. Have a
look
at cl_swf_bor_types on a 640 system for an example

Last remaining hurdle is creating a class-type attribute of a BO, but I
suspect that's not happening.

Thanks for the feedback in any case,
Cheers
Mike
