Reg: Calling an ecatt script in R/3 function module

[Former Member]

Dear Freinds

Can Anyone of you tell me if an ecatt script can be called inside an r/3 function module.

if yes, please explaion me how it can be done.

If you have any example code it will be quite useful for me.

Points will be rewarded for suitable answers.

With Warm Regards

Hello Ravishankar

Function group ECATT_EXECUTE contains the RFC-enabled function module <b>ECATT_EXECUTE</b> which should allow you to execute eCATT scripts.

I believe it should be not too difficult to find out how to execute this function module properly.

Hi Ravishankar,

Yes you can call it but there's no standard way defined.

I am suggesting a workaround to this. What you can do is make a BDC recording for the execution of your ECATT script from SECATT transaction and then

using 'Call Trasaction' in the function module call the BDC program to execute the script in function module.

This I belive would do the purpose.

Hope this helps and revert for more clarifications if any.

OFcourse the above mentioned function module ECATT_EXECUTE would be useful in this case .

<b>Always reward points for useful suggestions.</b>

Vikas

Hi, the above method was very useful for executing a script with default values. But if I have to pass a single parameter to my script, which will change during every run, is there any way to do it?

[raphaelbertani]

There is another option. Secatt can run in SHDB. so, create an SHDB to start Test Configuration.

In SapGui processing, this can be done in foreground, so it is perfect

The result can be found by other way , debuging where log is.
