The container element contains all the control information required at run time in the form of constants and object references.

To inform the WF which object was created in the step via the method the reference to the bus object is passed via the binding definition from the task container to the Wf container. An appropriate element was therefore created automatically in the WF container with the correct data type.

Reward points if useful

Suppose you create a new responsibility, with say three lines in the container element, then when the workflow is triggerred, then in such as case depending on the entries of the user against the three lines in the container element, the corresponding responsibility is triggered at run time.

Hi,

The main advantage of the STD_TEXT object is that it can print container elements as text symbols.

Each container element can be printed as follows:

&ContainerElement&

If the container element is an object, each attribute can be printed as follows:

&Object.Attribute&

If you want to print employee data, a container element of type EmployeeT must be included. This element enables each employee data record (defined as an attribute of EmployeeT) to be printed. If the documents are country-specific, it is a good idea to define the container element as EmployeeXX (ISO country key = personnel country grouping), which includes all of the international and country-specific attributes.

STD_TEXT can make distinctions between object attributes up to a third level, which means you must define utility objects in the container if higher levels are needed to make more distinctions.

STD_TEXT cannot make distinctions for the following expression:

Employee.PersonnelArea.LegalPerson.ActivityText.

For this reason, you must define a utility container element of the type PersonnelArea:

PersonnelArea<==Employee.PersonnelArea

Using this container element, the activitytext attribute can be printed in the text as follows:

PersonnelArea.LegalPerson.ActivityText.

If the document requires additional information from other object types, you must define the elements as container elements in the standard task.

Reward if useful.

Pranathi.
