SAP Call

Method name

This is the internal method call used by the SAP GUI client. This field is read-only.

Parameter

If the method uses parameters, one Parameter line is displayed for each parameter. Advanced users can modify these parameters. Refer to SAP documentation for more information about the parameters used by SAP GUI method calls. You can use data correlation to substitute this value.

Return

If the method returns a value, a Return line is displayed, which can be used for data correlation or for a verification point. The value displayed is not the actual return value, but only represents the type of the parameter, for example, string for a string type or 0 for an integer. Refer to SAP documentation for more information about the parameters used by SAP GUI method calls.

Verification Point

Enable Verification Point

When selected, the test verifies whether the Return value of the SAP call (if any) matches the value specified in Expected Value. An error is reported in the test log if the value returned during the test does not match the expected value.

Expected Value

This field enables you to specify the expected value for the call. The expected value can optionally be expressed as a regular expression. You can use data correlation to substitute this value.

Use Regular Expression

Select this option to express the expected value using standard regular expression syntax.
