[Former Member]

HI,

What is difference between SAP GUI Script and eCATT.

I know that SAP GUI Script can be used for transaction that have activex controls but can we use these script in eCATT also.

If yes, how?

Thanks,

Hi Priya,

SAPGUI script will only work from an external program, may be VB or vbScript. ECATT can only execute a fixed set of commands e.g. (TCD, SAPGUI etc) or a block of ABAP code. ECATT can both work in foreground and background mode.

In foreground mode you would be able to see the script running on your frontend whereas background mode will create a job in the SAP system.

You can convert your SAPGUI scripts to SAPGUI commands and execute. If you strictly want to execute SAPGUI script from ECATT then you would have to save the script somewhere on your desktop computer and call it from an ABAP block in ECATT.
