Hi,

HI Rengan,

A dialog step is simply a single request to a dialog process, so it's about the same meaning as user interaction, but not all user interaction produces a dialog step (some of the interaction is GUI only) and not all dialog steps are user interaction...

Hi Pascal,

It is quite confusing for me.

Kindly explain in detail or is there any place where i can find full details.

Hi Rengan,

maybe this helps

The smallest unit of work in an SAP system is called

a dialog step. Every time a user is navigating

through a menu, is printing a document or searches

in the database, the tasks are processed by one or

more dialog steps. Therefore a single R/3 user

interaction is called a dialog step. It comprises the

filling of a screen template and submitting it by

pressing the return key or a function key

respectively. An R/3 transaction (or business

transaction) is normally made up of several dialog

steps. The term dialog step is used also for non-

dialog proceedings, like update or batch.
