FM to return contents of a container for a workflow/workitem

[Former Member]

Is there a function module that exists that will return all container elements and their values? I would like to write a status report that uses such a module, if it exists.

Kind regards,

Tony.

Tony,

Look for SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER.

Ramki,

For some reason I cannot reward points on this post; I've had this a couple of posts before and don't know what the cause is.

If I don't get it fixed, I'll mark you up preferentially on the next post or two ogf mine that you reply too

Cheers,

Tony.

There seem to be some problem with the points system on and off. You can send an email to sdn@sap.com to report any issues.

Hi Friends,

There is a Export Parameter by name IFS_XML_CONTAINER in the WAPI SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER.

I think that the workflow container data is in binary form. How do we convert the data into the container attributes ?

Hi Bharath Kaushik,

You need to transform the parameter using the relevant interface class such as IF_SWF_CNT_SIMPLE_CONTAINER.

But I wouldn't bother with that if you don't need to. The other parameters are easier to read. I usually only use the xml version if I need to pass it across to another routine in that format.
