Problem When Transferring Values from program to workflow

[safeer_shah2]

I tried to pass the value from program to a workflow ( the workflow is based on the workflow form so the container is the table structure ) via this source code but I am getting following error

"1 E The container passed has errors

2 E Structures of type 'ZMRNMASTER' cannot be assigned any constants"

data:  t_wf_cont1 type swr_cont occurs 0 with header line.
move  'ZMRNMASTER' to t_wf_cont1-ELEMENT.
move  '40000188' to t_wf_cont1-VALUE.
append t_wf_cont1.



t_task = 'WS97500055'.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW'
  EXPORTING
    task                      = t_task
   LANGUAGE         = SY-LANGU

Hello,

I guess you can follow the direction sin this post :

Hope that helps.

Hi,

     take a look at the container definition of the parameter ZMRNMASTER and try to start your WF with transaction SWUS to have a correct test case for your container.

ZMRNMASTER is a table structure I want to pass the value in a field of this structure right now or more fields later , right now i want to move value in ZMRNMASTER-ZMR_NO ( Material rejection number ) field

[safeer_shah2]

[safeer_shah2]

for the refernce i posted screenshots so you can have better idea

Hi,

   try creating a local variable ls_tab type ZMRNMASTER,

ls_tab-ZMR_NO = '40000188' .

t_wf_cont1-VALUE = ls_tab.

...

Hello,

Is ZMRNMASTER an object? If so, here's an example of how to pass an object instance:

INCLUDE <CNTN01>.

data:

begin of lv_object_instance,

  objtype type swo_objtyp,

  objkey  type swo_typeid,

end of lv_object_instance.

* Define the container

swc_container lt_wf_cont.

* Create the container

swc_create_container lt_wf_cont.

* Clear the container (not necessary here)

swc_clear_container lt_wf_cont.

lv_object_instance-objtype = 'FORMABSENC'.

lv_object_instance-objkey = '0000000088'.

lt_wf_cont-element = 'ABSENCEFORM'.

lt_wf_cont-value = lv_object_instance.

append lt_wf_cont.

Hi,

To pass the value to a structure you can do like this way.

Sappose a structure ZMRNMASTER have 2 fields, a1 has size char10, a2 has size char10.

If you want to pass value to a2 . Then you write that way 

data:  t_wf_cont1 type swr_cont occurs 0 with header line.
move  'ZMRNMASTER' to t_wf_cont1-ELEMENT.
move  '               1234569 ' to t_wf_cont1-VALUE.  " Here 10  spaces are there before 1234569
append t_wf_cont1.

I saw in your structure many fields are there. Count all the length of fields which is there before the field ZMR_NO. Pass that much spaces then the original you want to pass in t_wf_cont1-VALUE

[safeer_shah2]

Gianluca,

I tried following code and got this error

"t_wf_cont1-VALUE and ls_tab are not mutually convertable in a unicode program "

data:  t_wf_cont1 type swr_cont occurs 0 with header line.
move  'ZMRNMASTER' to t_wf_cont1-ELEMENT.
data: ls_tab type ZMRNMASTER.
ls_tab-ZMR_NO = '40000188' .
t_wf_cont1-VALUE = ls_tab.

Hi,

   ...UNICODE... the quickest way to close your test is to try as suggested by Anjan Paul.

[safeer_shah2]

Rick is not an object i.e. not an business object, the workflow is based on form so the ZRMNMASTER is a structure , you can see in above screen shots

[safeer_shah2]

I tried your code by its  giving me following short dump

"Type conflict at call of a method."

data:

   begin of lv_object_instance,
  objtype type swo_objtyp,
  objkey  type swo_typeid,
end of lv_object_instance.
* Define the container
swc_container lt_wf_cont.
* Create the container
swc_create_container lt_wf_cont.
* Clear the container (not necessary here)
swc_clear_container lt_wf_cont.
lv_object_instance-objtype = 'ZMR_NO'.
lv_object_instance-objkey = '40000188'.
lt_wf_cont-element = 'ZMRNMASTER'.
lt_wf_cont-value = lv_object_instance.
append lt_wf_cont.

[safeer_shah2]

Paul,

i tried your code too but i got the same error which I posted in the begining of my issue

"1 E The container passed has errors

2 E Structures of type 'ZMRNMASTER' cannot be assigned any constants"

[safeer_shah2]

I read the input container via FM SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER

and the input container after reading look like that

Line     ELEMENT                                                  VALUE 

1           _WF_INITIATOR USSHAHS

2           _WF_PRIORITY 5

3           _WF_VERSION 0000

4           _WF_NESTING_LEVEL

5           ZMRNMASTER

6           _WI_GROUP_ID

7           _WORKITEM           FLOWITEM  000000968263                                                          *          <OBJECT>*

8           _PREDECESSOR_WI

9           MRN

Hi,

     create a copy of the structure ZRMNMASTER as local type and substitute all the numeric field of the ZRMNMASTER with char type of the same lenght, then try again

ls_tab type (NEW_ZMRNMASTER),

ls_tab-ZMR_NO = '40000188' .

t_wf_cont1-VALUE = ls_tab.

Regards,

    Gianluca

[anjan_paul]

Give your code

[safeer_shah2]

data:  t_wf_cont1 type swr_cont occurs 0 with header line.

move  'ZMRNMASTER' to t_wf_cont1-ELEMENT.

move  '    1234569 ' to t_wf_cont1-VALUE.  " Here 10  spaces are there before 1234569

append t_wf_cont1.

Hi,

Here you pass

  *move  '40000188' to t_wf_cont1-VALUE

I told you first take all size of the fields which is there before ZMR_NO field. then

put that no of spaces in single code, then put element value look like

*move   '                                                     40000188'  to t_wf_cont1-VALUE

[safeer_shah2]

there is only MANDT field before ZMR_No so i put 3 space before ZMR_NO. the line your are talking about is commited so it cant effect the code

[safeer_shah2]

if you want the system access then send me an email on safeershah@hotmail.com

[anjan_paul]

I think structure size is more than 255. So SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW can't be used. Try to use fm  SWW_WI_START_SIMPLE.

I tried following code but got the short dump "Type conflict when calling a function module (field length)"

Hi,

First no need pass 3 space, as mandt is not count.

Second got to ST22, find out what is the error.

I think please check the FM import export type, it is same or not.

[safeer_shah2]

import , export type ? what do you mean ?

[anjan_paul]

Hi,

For the function module the import parameter type , output parameter type  is same as in your program.

[anjan_paul]

Did you find the solution?

[anjan_paul]

Hi,

  What type structure 'ZMRNMASTER' it is. I think it not simple integer or string value. I think it has some different no of fields. Then it passing only single value will not work.

If ZMRNMASTER is only structure of integer. Then try to pass  40000188 without single code ' '.
