Change of Object key length

[Hanrahan, Wayne]

Hello workflowers,
 I have a custom Business object workflow etc. The length of the domain
of the object has been expanded (from 5 to 10 numeric).
 Changing the workflow containers using the FM's SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER
and SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER seem to do the job fine.
 However, for open instances of the object(workflows half way through),
when an event is raised with the newly expanded object key the workflow
does not move on.
 Is it the case that if the workflow started out (created event) with a
key 5 long, all subsequent events for the life of that workflow must be
raised with a key 5 long?
 BTW, all newly created workflows work just fine. This happens only for
the ones 'in process' when the key is expanded.
 Anyone been down this road before?
 Many thanks,
 Wayne Hanrahan.
