Passing parameters to Workflow.

[Former Member]

Hi!

I m passing values from my ABAP prog to my event container and from there to my workflow and ultimately to my workitem text.

Now my problem is - my ABAP prog. is passing junk characters along with the actual value to my event container parameters while setting event parameters thru

swc_set_ELEMENT ev_container 'EVENT_PARAMETER' VALUE.

How to prevent these junk chars from being passed?

Sudipto,

If you are on a release higher than 4.6, find the SAP_WAPI_xxxx function module to create the event. You don't have to use the container macros with the WAPI FM. Otherwise post the relevant pieces of your code.

Thanks.

But I am using SAP_WAPI_CRATE_EVENT. Anyways find herewith the relevant code.

Here I am catching the saved doc no. and then based onwhich retrieving relevant data and passing it to the event contaner parameter. But along with the actual value certain other values r also passed. My actual value is in EVENT_CONTAINER-ELEMENT -VALUE (Can be checked thru debugging)

*WRITE LTPLNR.

Sudipto,

for the WAPI FM the container is a simple internal table. You simply fill the internal table with the Element name and its value using the APPEND statement. Please see the structure of the input_container parameter of the FM. You should not use any of the macros.

I do not want get into a discussion of your design but It is strange that you are supplying the object key as a literal.
