Workflow container value not set when importing from custom method

[Former Member]

Hi All, 

Kindly help me out with following issue .

Following is the code in custom method.

when i execute the method in SE24 i get value in init_mail and last_releasecode.

But during the execution of workflow the value is <not set> in workflow container.

I have executed the particular task in SWUS and there too the workflow container value for mail and releasecode is <not set>. 

I have checked the data type and binding at task level.

I have attached the screenshot of workflow container for reference.

Why the value is not set in workflow container from custom method

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_t16fw,

          frgco TYPE t16fw-frgco,

          objid TYPE t16fw-objid,

        END OF ty_t16fw.

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_usr21,

            bname      TYPE usr21-bname,

            persnumber TYPE usr21-persnumber,

            addrnumber TYPE usr21-addrnumber,

          END OF ty_usr21.

TYPES : BEGIN OF ty_adr6,

            addrnumber TYPE adr6-addrnumber,

            persnumber TYPE adr6-persnumber,

            smtp_addr  TYPE adr6-smtp_addr,

           END OF ty_adr6.

DATA: wa_ekko      TYPE ekko,

         wa_t16fw_ini TYPE ty_t16fw,

         wa_usr21_ini TYPE ty_usr21,

         wa_adr6_ini  TYPE ty_adr6.

SELECT SINGLE * FROM ekko

                       INTO wa_ekko

                      WHERE ebeln = purchaseorder

                        AND frgke = 'R'.

   IF wa_ekko IS NOT INITIAL.

     SELECT SINGLE frgco objid FROM t16fw

                               INTO wa_t16fw_ini

                              WHERE frgco = 'C1'.

     SELECT SINGLE bname persnumber addrnumber FROM usr21

                                               INTO wa_usr21_ini

                                              WHERE bname = wa_t16fw_ini-objid.

     SELECT SINGLE addrnumber persnumber smtp_addr FROM adr6

                                                   INTO wa_adr6_ini

                                                  WHERE addrnumber = wa_usr21_ini-addrnumber

                                                    AND persnumber = wa_usr21_ini-persnumber.

     init_mail = wa_adr6_ini-smtp_addr.

     CASE wa_ekko-frgsx.

       WHEN 'Q1'.

         last_releasecode = 'C1'.

       WHEN 'R1'.

         last_releasecode = 'C2'.

       WHEN 'S1'.

         last_releasecode = 'C3'.

       WHEN 'T1'.

         last_releasecode = 'C4'.

       WHEN 'U1'.

         last_releasecode = 'C5'.

       WHEN 'V1'.

         last_releasecode = 'C6'.

       WHEN 'W1'.

         last_releasecode = 'C7'.

     ENDCASE.

   ENDIF.

Thanks,

Madhu

"when i execute the method in SE24 i get value in init_mail and last_releasecode.

That will be a binding problem. Hardcode some values into your method to be sure - it could also be that your method isn't returning the values.

(You're doing too much straight selecting from table - you should use some BAPI* fms instead.

But that's another matter)

Thanks for your response.

I solved the issue.

Binding was not a problem.I have added the background activity step in wrong place.
