Hi,

If you want to load Active X Controls and Long text(eg - 1000 char), you need to use SAP GUI method.The drawback here is, The load time is ver slow.

TCD method is fast when compared to SAP GUI method.

If you donot know how to use eCATT, pls check website saptechnical- > tutorials->eCATT

P.S: if you have data more than 9999 records, you need to split the records and load it.

Thanks,

Felix

Hello,

Since the transaction mentioned by you are control intensive transaction or the enjoy transaction with lot of controls, ALV grids, tree structure and so on .

TCD driver cannot recognize if the transactions has more controls in such cases SAPGUI is the best option.

So i would recommend you to use SAPGUI for recording.

Thanks & Best regards,
