Former Member — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 16:17:57 GMT

Hello,

I have got a requirement to change a method of any object type, i am new to BOR i find these statements in the methods:

swc_set_table container 'Sequential_Approvers' sequential_approvers.

swc_set_element method_container 'Status' status.

Could anyone please let me know what do tehy stand for.

It would be really helpful if some one could let me know relevant links which would give me some information on this.

Thanks,

Simmi

Basically, SWC_SET_ELEMENT and SWC_SET_TABLE are the macros.

You can get more help on macros from ABAP help.

Yes it is used in workflow.

I don't have much idea on that. I have tried to search for the documentation and got proper directions.

Hi Simmi,

These are used in BOR methods.

SWC_ELEMENT_SET and SWC_TABLE_SET are for output parameters. when you pass values to any BOR method then that method will receive those values using SWC_ELEMENT_GET and when that method return you any value then it i spossible by SWC_ELEMENT_SET.

mostly these BOR are used in workflows because it triggers automatically on any transaction and because of which workflow linked to that BOR will start automatically.

feel free to revert back for any query.

Thanks,
