SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT and input_contianer (limits?)... 4.6c

[Sample, Rick]

One more thing, when I stated Multi line, I was not referring to a
simple container with multilines, 
I was referring to passing in a Table via the imput_containter.

i.e.
create a table type, input the data, add the table to the
input_container.

Jocelyn,
I really value your opinion. No sarcasm! You are a very experienced and
valuable resource. 

Other than being a crappy design (which I admit. I never like passing
around data), what are the perils of passing in data via the event
container? 

I looked and we do have one other WF that is passing in data via event
container tables. 
And it is using SWE_EVENT_CREATE. I know this is to not be used. Replace
with WAPI. 
What are the issues down the road with newer releases?

When I go to management and tell them I need to change the design I
would like to have "expert opinions" to back me up.

Thanks much,

>>crappy process.  
Yea, I know. Not mine. Inherited it from contractors to finish. Don't
ask!

Data coming from EDI, calling an RFC bapi, and no saved data anywhere. 
Will probably just create a BOR (or ABAP Object), have a BAPI wrapper
create these tables, and pass into the WF just the object ref when we
raise event for WF. 
I hate passing around data, never did it,  and would never design that
way. That is why I am unsure the issues. ;

Don't know of a limitation but sounds like a bit of a crappy process to
pass that much information around dynamically and likely to have
problems.  Might be safer to stick the rows in a custom table with a
unique reference and just pass the reference.

Anyone know of issues / limits with passing multilines via
SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT?
100 - 200 lines (worse case) passed in via INPUT_CONTAINER into flow and
issue?
If so, I will need to make changes on calling program which I would like
to avoid right now.
