Start (Method) 

Definition

Method that executes the Start function in R/3. The semantics of this function depend on the concrete SAPData object.

Remarks

In the case of the SAPData object for workflow containers, this method starts a workflow and populates its container elements with values from the form fields. This method can be called directly via the SAPData object or indirectly via the Start method of the SAPForm object, whose SAPData property is a reference to the SAPData object. If an SAPXmit object is assigned to the SAPData object, the Start method of the SAPXmit object is called.
