Error Creating Work Area in JDeveloper for SCM

Question

In the Repository Object Navigator for 9i SCM, my userID has been granted the the following permissions to a shared work area called pdshare by the owner/build manager:
Select
Administrate
Insert
Update
Delete
Version
Compile
Update Spec.
However, in JDeveloper 9.0.3.1 When I create a work area from this shared work area I keep getting this error:
"BHART has insufficient privledges to Manage WorkArea".
Does anyone have suggestions for how to resolve this so that I can access the shared work area?
Thanks,
-Brian

It's actually simple if yyou use dynamic tables and field symbols.
In the program that calls  methods / attributes in the class
define some field symbols
for example
FIELD-SYMBOLS :
  <fs1>           TYPE  ANY,
  <fs2>           TYPE  STANDARD TABLE,
  <field_catalog> TYPE STANDARD TABLE,
  <dyn_table>    TYPE  STANDARD TABLE,
  <orig_table>   TYPE  STANDARD TABLE,
  <dyn_field>,
  <dyn_wa>.
in the class define data
DATA:
dy_table         TYPE REF TO data,
    dy_line          TYPE REF TO data,
etc.
field symbols work both INSIDE and OUTSIDE classes and are extremely useful for passing / receiving data. You have to define the field symbols in your main program however.
METHOD create_dynamic_table.
CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
    EXPORTING
         it_fieldcatalog = it_fldcat
      IMPORTING
         ep_table = dy_table.
ENDMETHOD.
CALL METHOD me->create_dynamic_table
    EXPORTING
      it_fldcat = it_fldcat
    IMPORTING
      dy_table        = dy_table.
     ASSIGN dy_table->* TO <dyn_table>.
CREATE DATA dy_line LIKE LINE OF <dyn_table>.
ASSIGN dy_line->* TO <dyn_wa>.
ENDMETHOD.
Then in your program (or class)  your data is in <dyn_table>.
Use dynamic tables and dynamic field cats as these give HUGE flexibility and you can re-use code over and over again for different structures.
The new RTTI  gives you any table structure whatsoever so you can make the whole thing completely general.
That's one of the advantages of Classes and OO as opposed to older FMODS.
