Workitem ID

[Kjetil Kilhavn]

To get the current work item ID in a BOR object method, you can use the
following code (at least in 4.6C):

* Started from work item?
DATA: t_requester TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF swotobjid,
      l_workitem  TYPE swwwihead-wi_id.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <requester> LIKE LINE OF t_requester.
 
CALL FUNCTION 'SWO_QUERY_REQUESTER'
     TABLES
          requester = t_requester
     EXCEPTIONS
          not_found = 1
          OTHERS    = 99.
IF syst-subrc = 0.
  LOOP AT t_requester
       ASSIGNING <requester>
       WHERE objtype = 'WORKITEM'.
    l_workitem = <requester>-objkey.
  ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.

If there is no value in l_workitem after this your object method is
being executed outside a work item.

However, aren't you more interested in the _previous_ work item?
