Starting WF from GOS with input parameters

[Susan R. Keohan]

Paul,

Have you considered 'Start with Details' ?  It allows you to enter an 
attachment, which is not ideal for your purposes, but perhaps you could 
figure out how to get the ApprovalAmount from there...

Or wouldn't it be nice if ApprovalAmount is an attribute of your ZOBJ, 
then you wouldn't have to mess with that.  Is there any way you can do 
that ?

Sorry, probably not much help; I guess I'm just thinking aloud.
