Using BOR Object as Attribute In ABAP Class

[Mike Pokraka]

Hi Seth, 

 

The problem is that the binding editor does not know the object type of your
attribute. It needs to have an initial value containing the object class and
type.

 

However, an SAP user is one of the easiest and most useful objects to
implement as a class. I would suggest going with a ZCL_USER class instead.
Much easier to work with.

 

Cheers,

Mike

As a side note, same thing happens if I try to use an attribute of the BOR
in a binding.  Try to bind ZCL_MKT_TRADE . TRADER_BOR_OBJ . ZEMAIL to a
sendmail step.

I am creating a custom workflow for our marketing group using ABAP Classes.
The main class I am dealing with is called ZCL_MKT_TRADE.  We do not have HR
implemented and subsequently use BOR object USR01 for agent assignments in
many custom workflows and have a lot of custom methods and attributes of use
to this workflow.

I need to use the trader (user) for several things in the workflow so I
created an attribute on ZCL_MKT_TRADE called TRADER_BOR_OBJ that is of type
BOR Object USR01 as outlined in Jocelyn's SDN BLOG.  I want to use the
trader for the agent assignment on a given workitem.  I use "Expression" and
then select &ZCL_MKT_TRADE.TRADER_BOR_OBJ.NAMEWITHLEADINGUS& as the
expression.  This is available in the dropdown but when I choose it I get an
error saying "NAMEWITHLEADINGUS is not a component of data object
TRADER_BOR_OBJ".

Is it not possible to accomplish what I am trying to do here?  I can always
have the trader attribute on my class simply store the userid of the trader
and then instantiate a separate USR01 BOR Object in my workflow container to
host all the trader details; however, my first idea seems like better
design.

Thanks, 
Seth
