WAPI SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE

[Mike Pokraka]

Hi Alon,

Not sure if your problem is still unsolved, but here's a big hammer
approach: do a SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE, wait a little bit, read the log
and do a SAP_WAPI_EXECUTE_WORKITEM of the subsequent WI. Not pretty but
not changing the WF limits choices somewhat...

Cheers,
Mike
