Workflow initiator problem

Question

Hi friends,
In my workflow, I have created one activity for reason for rejection and I am using task(TS20000139) for sending short message with reason and in binding I am passing wofkflow initiator(&_WF_INITIATOR&) to receiver(&RECEIVER&). But the problem is workflow initiator is not pickingup exact user name. If the username is 'STEVE' it is picking 'USSTEVE', because of this it is showing an error that user does not exists. If I remove that 'US' my problem will get solved. Plz suggest me.
Regards,
Steve.

hi,
when u create an activity step, double click on the step.
in the "task" section, click on the dropdown, then click on create task option.
this will take you to the task creation screen.
ih the object method section, select object category as "BOR object type", object type as your BO name (eg: BUS2012), and method as the name of the method that you created in your BO.
you can create your custom method in a custom BO.
this can be done using transaction SWO1.
enter the BO name and change button.
click on the method and then click on the create button. then it will ask you to create with FM as template. click No.
give a name to the method and dont forget to uncheck the "dialog" property of the method.
save it.
click on the newly created method and click on parameters button. specify the input and output parameter.
again click on the newly created method and click on program. here you can perform the string operation.
once all this is done click on the method. goto Edit -> change release status -> object type component -> to implemented.
then click on the generate button. (red and white coloured button).
