calling GUI Scripting from ABAP program

[Former Member]

Is it possible to call GUI Scripting from ABAP and thus to use GUI Scripting as an alternative to CALL TRANSACTION?

Is the class CL_JAVA_SCRIPT suitable to access GUI Scripting engine? Accessing ABAP data object would work as well in this case as i think. What SAP Logon and WAS releases are required? Is the 6.20 release sufficient for this case?

I would appreciate if somebody could post an example.

Hi,

CL_JAVA_SCRIPT has nothing to do with SAPGUI Scripting.

Calling SAPGUI Scripting API from ABAP could be possible for programmes experienced with OLE automation calls from ABAP coding.

The hardest thing will be, to access the scripting engine handle as an entry point. Once you have a handle in your abap session, any api function can be invoked.

Best regards

Jens

BTW: SAP testtool eCATT does call SAPGUI-Scripting from ABAP.

Hi Mariusz,

Did you get an answer to your question somewhere else (because here it looks empty), or did you test something?

It looks interesting and I would be glad to see an answer from SAP.
