How about clarification of what you need to do? Your user can print screen now from his/her 'customize local layout' icon at the top right of the GUI.

I'm tring to save the printscreen image as an attachment and send it via sap service desk system.

Regarding your reply : How exactly do I use printscreen from "customize local layout" , I didn't find printscreen in the menu.

You will find the option "Hardcopy". Try that.

If you want to trigger a print screen automatically and you're using Web Dynpro for ABAP you might want to check out this thread: . If you're using SAPgui though with classic ABAP, I'd suspect it should be possible to somehow program this using class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES. Not sure if there's some magic command in Windows to trigger a print screen or if you'd need some additional software. I couldn't find anything for the first case, so it might not be an option. Otherwise a combination of methods EXECUTE (to trigger the screen print to clipboard) and CLIPBOARD_IMPORT might do the trick.

It's a GUI function, not ABAP. And if it weren't, how would you implement this? Modify all SAP programs??
