Passing file from report to workflow container

Question

My requirement is a report will will upload a file from the desk top.
After uploading the file a workflow should trigger from the program
for which i am using the FM "SWE_EVENT_CREATE".
Apart from uploading the file, the report will fetch some data from
tables and i am passing the data to workflow using the above FM. Now
how can i pass the file to this FM, so that the file is available in
the workflow container.

You have to follow the below sequence of steps.
1)You are uploading the data from your desktop and the data will be in an internal table. Collect the entire data which you want to pass to the Workflow in a single internal table.
2)Export this internal table to memory using Export statement. See syntax to use this statement for exporting internal table data.
for example :
EXPORT : T_PO_STATUS FROM T_PO_STATUS TO MEMORY ID  'PR_PO_STATUS'.
3)Now when You trigger your workflow using the said FM, in the code of a Method associated to a particular Task, you have to import the internal table data using IMPORT statement.
for example :
IMPORT : T_PO_STATUS TO T_PO_STATUS FROM MEMORY ID 'PR_PO_STATUS'.
4) after importing you have to pass this data to the internal table which is declared in the workflow container. for this use the below statement.
SWC_SET_TABLE CONTAINER 'POStatus' T_PO_STATUS.
5) The internal table structures must be same both in the report program and in the workflow container. This way you can get the required data from report program to the workflow container.
