External Variants File in ECATT

[Former Member]

We have a provision to provide external variants to CATT. I wanted to know whether we can also provide an external file for variants to ECATT.

If this is not possible please do tell me about some other option to load evxternal variants in ECATT

Hi Jyotsna,

Even i have the same problem.I think that this facility is not available in ECATT and the only option is creating Variants in the Test Data for the parameters you create in the Test Script and then executing the Test Configuration with the Test Script and the Test data for the Script mentioned in that.

I hope this might help you for some extent.

Please let me know if you found out any other solution for the above scenario.

Thanks,

Shashidhar.

Hi Jyotsna and sashidhar,

Loading variants from file can be done programmatically in abap…endabap. Block

While recording the application find out what are the required fields for the script.

Instead of using variants store the values in the file. Then use an internal table to store this data for the screen processing.

I am sending you some sample code, which may be helpful to you.

If you find any other alternative please let me know.

Sample code:

for ME22 transaction code.

abap.

DATa : tot type i value 0.

*itab whicj stores PO numbers in the file.

data : begin of itab occurs 0,

bstnr like rm06e-bstnr,

end of itab.

• to open the file dialog.

• itab for storing ORD qty and REC qty

data : begin of itab3 occurs 0,

• calculating last item in the table

• TCD for changing the PO.

TCD ( ME22 , ME22_1 ).
