How to find out the agent without executing a step

Rick thanks for your reply.
I have created a new task with my method but this has left me confused. I created a new task in pftc inserted my method.
My first question is do I make this a background task? I then created a step in my workflow with the new task with my method. This is the part I find confusing.
When I test my wf and view technical details for the step with my method, the container tab shows ActObject and this is filled with the WF initiators us ID. It also brings in ActTask, ActWild and ActPlvar these have no values set. My question is where do I find the agent that the method is suppose to work out based on the rule 00000168.
I've outlined below how I created my method. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Forhad
create new method with FM as template - choose RH_GET_ACTORS - in properties select synchronous - create method parameters ActObject, ActTask, ActWiId, ActPlvar as import.
when I click program this the code it automatically generates. From researching and help from SAP WUG I found out that I only need to pass ACT_OBJECT & ACTOR_CONTAINER parameters to the FM. So I commented out all the other parameters.
BEGIN_METHOD RHGETACTORS CHANGING CONTAINER.
DATA:
lt_agents type standard table of swhactor,
benefitsagenst type standard table of swhactor,
lt_holders type standard table of swhactor,
wa_lt_agents type swhactor,
Num_lines type i,
ACTOR_TAB type standard table of swhactor,
destn type rfcdes-rfcdest.
swc_container lt_container.
swc_clear_container lt_container.
CALL FUNCTION 'RH_GET_ACTORS'
EXPORTING
ACT_OBJECT = 'AC00000168'
TABLES
ACTOR_CONTAINER = lt_container
ACTOR_TAB = lt_agents
EXCEPTIONS
NO_ACTIVE_PLVAR = 01
NO_ACTOR_FOUND = 02
EXCEPTION_OF_ROLE_RAISED = 03
NO_VALID_AGENT_DETERMINED = 04
NO_CONTAINER = 05
OTHERS = 06.
CASE SY-SUBRC.
WHEN 0. " OK
WHEN 01. " to be implemented
WHEN 02. " to be implemented
WHEN 03. " to be implemented
WHEN 04. " to be implemented
WHEN 05. " to be implemented
WHEN OTHERS. " to be implemented
ENDCASE.
END_METHOD.

Hello,
You would create a custom task (TS....) to call this method, and then create a step in the workflow to call the task.
The step can then pass the agents back to the workflow.
