You have to create Identical Workflow Container element in Workflow Template.Use Function Module SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER

.Please close thread if resolved.

Check this FM SWU2_INPLACE_DECISION_PROCESS. It is being used there.

Element: Name of Container Element Like Employee(In workflow Container)

Value: Value you want to write.

Hi,

Thanks for your early replies.

The problem i am facing is, i am unable to write to a workflow conatiner. the workflow container has a emp_data stucture with emp_name and emp_no as fields. and the table which contains the data has the same fileds.

now how to write the data.

plz can you explain the process to write the data to the container??

Thankd,

I hope you didn't switch to the SWE FM's. Could you let us know how you solved it, this will make it clear to others who will search for a similar requirement also.
