Calling methods in Send Mail step

[Mike Pokraka]

Hello Volker,

Unfortunately you can't use functional methods in Task descriptions. This
is not a limitation of the workflow system; it's because it uses the
rather primitive and OO-unaware SapScript for the work item description.

This is a bit misleading when using the email step as it tries to present
a pretty frontend to hide SapScript. You can use a container element on
the step for the methods needed in texts and just double up on the
binding:
WFOBJECT -> TSOBJECT, and
WFOBJECT.METHOD1( ) -> TSELEMENT1
Then use TSELEMENT1 in your description.

Hope that helps,
Mike
